Synthesis and Galvanic Replacement Reaction of Silver Nanocubes in Organic Medium
Process edit
- Polyol process in which silver nitrate is reduced by ethylene glycol in the presence of a capping agent, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)
- A ligand exchange reaction was used to replace the PVP with another capping agent, allowing the nanocubes to be soluble in chloroform
- Oleylamine, oleic acid, and decane-thiol were among the ligands investigated
