Synthesis of Dendritic Silver Nanostructures on Al Foil by Galvanic Displacement for Catalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silver dendrites were synthesized via a simple and straightforward strategy based on the galvanic displacement between Ag ions and aluminum foil in the room temperature. Because the presence of Al2O3 thin layer on the surface of aluminum foil, the NaCl was added to accelerates the reaction rate. The formed Ag dendrites was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM and XRD. The as-prepared Ag dendrites were developed as a catalyst by mixed with reduced graphene oxide and used for degradation of methylene blue when the presence of NaBH4. Moreover, the optimal conditions of degradation were also investigated.
