The Effect of Different Synthesis with Chemical and Biological Methods on Properties of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles

Silver oxide (Ag2O) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized through several methods, namely sol-gel, sonochemical, and biological methods. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the sonochemical method produces silver with high phase purity, then sol-gel another phase, crystals, while Ag3PO4 from precursor media. The research showed had smallest crystallite particle sizes of 9.5 232.7 nm, respectively, compared to It is known specific surface area has largest value, 60.09 m2/g, biosynthetic which are 51.78 24.77 respectively. Scanning electron microscopy study homogeneous spherical in however, resulted formation non-spherical form like flakes. HIGHLIGHTS Synthesis by chemical pure smaller size, larger area, more size than methods for synthesis highest crystallinity homogeneity GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
