Abstract

Purpose: The synthesis of industrially viable monodispersed silver nanoparticles was investigated by the combined effect of two reducing agents and variations in the synthesis reaction conditions including temperature. Design/Methodology/Approach: The microstructural analysis using transmission electron microscope (TEM) of the as-synthesized nanoparticles showed the nanoparticle’s morphology. The particle size distribution was evaluated with Image J. Findings: The synergy of a combined reducing agent produces nanoparticles with; enhanced total surface area, narrow-size distribution, spherical morphology and highly mono-dispersed as compared to a single reducing agent. Research Limitations: The results obtained reveals a paradigm shift in the synthesis of monodispersed silver nanoparticles. Narrow-size particle distribution with enhanced total surface area and its associated morphology are industrially viable. The study is extensible to feasible applications requiring size-controlled nanoparticles such as antibacterial gent, drug delivery, among others. Practical Implications: The monodispersed nanoparticles have identical particle sizes significant for size-dependent homogeneous physico-chemical properties. Monodispersity have enhanced total surface area with efficiency hence they are relatively economically viable. Originality/Value: This study has emphasised on the effect of combined reducing agents on the synthesis of monodispersed silver nanoparticles under different synthesis parameters. The study output demonstrates a novel influence of the synergy of multiple reducing agents on the synthesis of industrially viable silver nanoparticles.
