Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles



Parteek Prasher, Mousmee Sharma

Abstract

The synthesis of AgNPs occurs by traditional chemical synthesis, which requires reducing agents to convert the ionic silver to metallic form and a capping agent that stabilizes the colloidal suspension of AgNPs. While the green synthesis inculcates the use of natural agents and their extract or dry biomass that play a dual role of reducing and capping agents. Mainly, the alkaloids, natural products, terpenes, polysaccharides, and coumarins present in the biomass or their extract serve as the reducing/ capping agent for the synthesis of AgNPs via the green route. The present chapter discusses the modes of synthesis of AgNPs by the green routes.
Keywords: AgNPs morphology, Capping agent, Chemical synthesis, Green synthesis, Microbial synthesis.



1. Chemical Synthesis

The chemical synthesis of AgNPs starts with the reduction of Ag(I) solution in the presence of a suitable reducing agent to obtain Ag(0) nuclei aggregates in the colloidal solution. The metallic silver nuclei in the presence of a suitable stabilizing agent coalease to form clusters in the colloidal solution that generate colloidal stabilized AgNPs. Further modifications on AgNPs for fine-tuning of their surface and morphology occur in the presence of chemical and physical modifications in the colloidal state. Fig. (1) illustrates the formation of surface functionalized AgNPs. Mainly the chemical reducing agents such as NaBH4 and LiAlH4 represent the most commonly used reagents for the conversion of silver ions in solution phase to metallic silver. The stabilizing agents used in chemical synthesis mainly include a synthetic polymer that prevents the coalease of AgNPs in colloidal phase and keeps them dispersed in the solution itself. However, in the present era, more emphasis occurs on the green methods of AgNPs synthesis owing to environmental sustainability and low harm to the ecosystem.

1.1. Green Synthesis

Fig. (2) highlights the various sources for the green synthesis of AgNPs. Mainly, the various phytochemicals, natural products, macromolecules, tannins, lignins,
coumarins, terpenes, and heterocyclic or spirocyclic components present in the sources mentioned in Fig. (2) assist in the AgNPs synthesis. These agents serve the dual role of being a reducing and coupling agent and provide a high yield of AgNPs. Tables 1-3 depict the green synthesis of AgNPs by natural sources in the form of microbes and agrowaste.
