Formation and Stabilization of Silver Nanoparticles through Reduction by N,N-Dimethylformamide

Pastoriza-Santos, Isabel, Liz-Marzán, Luis M.·1999·Langmuir

Abstract

The reduction of Ag + ions in N, N -dimethylformamide (DMF) is shown to take place spontaneously at room temperature. When no other additives are present in the system, the slow reduction leads to silver deposition on the glass walls of the container, while in the presence of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) stable dispersions of silver nanoparticles are obtained. Even though the reduction can be performed at room temperature, higher temperatures markedly increase the reaction rate and improve the monodispersity of the colloid. The reduction rate and morphology of the colloidal particles also depend on the ratio [Ag]/[APS]. The reduction takes place both with nitrate and perchlorate as counterions, which confirms that DMF plays the role of a reducing agent. Additionally, when excess APS is used, a thin, homogeneous silica shell is formed on the silver particle surface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
