Electrochemistry as a Complementary Technique for Revealing the Influence of Reducing Agent Concentration on AgNPs.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis process of AgNPs has been attracting a lot of attention in the fields of biosensors/sensors, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications. An attempt to understand the effect of different concentrations of reducing agents on the synthetic design process has been made. In this paper, we gather information on voltammetry studies and relate it with UV-vis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Given the kinetics, localized surface plasmon absorption (LSPR) band, and narrow size distribution of these methods, it was possible to compare the obtained measurements and clearly distinguish sizes and aggregation. AgNPs measured by SEM showed a statistically significant reduction of the nanoparticle sizes from 65 to 37.5 nm as the reducing agent increased. Well-matched d-s
