Abstract

Silver nanoparticles are prepared by reducing Ag+ ions with sodium borohydride in aqueous solutions containing carbonate ions (5 × 10−5−1 × 10−2 mol l−1). It is established that carbonate ions represent an efficient stabilizer that provides nanoparticles with electrostatic protection via the formation of an electrical double layer. The maximum stability of a silver dispersion is observed at a carbonate ion concentration of 1 × 10−3 mol l−1. The average size of silver nanoparticles is 10.0 ± 2.5 nm. The formation kinetics of silver nanoparticles is described by an equation for a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 2.3 × 10−3 s−1 (±20%).
