Effects of UV Radiation and pH of Tannic Acid Solution in the Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The reductions of silver nitrate by tannic acid at various pH with and without UV radiation at room temperature were done in order to study the effects of UV radiation and pH of tannic acid solution in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The results from UV-Visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering method and transmission electron microscopy indicated that using UV radiation resulted in silver nanoparticles with smaller particles and narrower size distribution at every pH. The results also revealed that smallest particles without agglomeration were obtained when alkali condition was applied. Therefore, the suitable condition for synthesizing silver nanoparticles in this research was to use UV radiation and tannic acid solution having pH of 8.0.
