Controlled growth of thermally stable uniform-sized Ag nanoparticles on flat support and their electrochemical activity
Source abstract
Abstract
A method consisting of spin coating of Ag+ ions (AgNO3) solution followed by chemical reduction in aqueous hydrazine solution has been presented for controlled growth of thermally stable uniform-sized Ag nanoparticles on flat substrate. Scanning electron microscopy images and local surface plasmon resonance absorption studies imply that most of the Ag nanoparticles grow with unique preferable size. This preferable size can be controlled by changing AgNO3 solution characteristics (drop size and concentration), spin-coating parameters (rpm and ramp) and annealing temperatures. With increase in rpm or ramp, particle size decreases with enhanced particles density. The Ag nanoparticles are thermally stable up to 450 °C, and the preferable size is increased with annealing temperature. The grown particles are catalytic active for oxygen reduction reaction, and activity was found to be dependent on size and density of Ag nanoparticles.
