Abstract

Abstract Mesoporous Ag/ZnO nanohybrid material has been successfully synthesized using simple and green route via sodium alginate media. The as-synthetized nanomaterial was structurally characterized using various techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and N 2 adsorption-desorption measurements (BET). The Ag/ZnO nanoparticles were quasi-spherical, crystalline with a size ranging from 40 to 50 nm. In addition, characterization results confirmed that calcined Ag/ZnO nanomaterial sample was stable and mainly consisting of both hexagonal ZnO and cubic silver nanoparticles.
