Fabrication of Ag/ZnO Nanoparticles Using Ascorbic Acid as Reducing Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

High surface area Ag/ZnO with an average diameter of 13.95 nm was successfully synthesized through a facile route, using ascorbic acid and silica rice husk as reducing agent and amorphous support respectively. This nanomaterial was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, atomic absorption spectrometry and particle size analyzer. This simple method resulted in the production of almost spherical Ag/ZnO nanoparticles with high BET surface area and large pore volume of 341.46 m2g-1 and 0.59 cm3g-1 respectively. This preliminary study revealed the successful inclusion of metal cations into the silica framework without damaging the mesoporosity nature of silica.
