Photochemical reduction of silver nitrate to nano silver using stannous chloride, ctab and daylight irradiation

Silver nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and stabilized by a simple method in aqueous solution, by the reduction of silver nitrate with stannous chloride (SnCl2.2H2O) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)through day light irradiation. Thereby, the silver nanoparticles were colloidally stabilized by CTAB as a surfactant. The synthesis of silver NPs with different size were possible by changing the reaction conditions such as reagent ratio. The silver NPs were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and UV-visible spectroscopy. A very strong plasmon resonance peak at 400-500 nm in the UV-visible spectra is a clear consequence of the silver NPs production. The synthesized silver NPs showed good stability by using CTAB.
