Abstract

In the present study silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were prepared by using chemical synthesis. Silver nanocolloid solution has been prepared chemically by the reduction of silver salt using sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) and trisodium citrate (C₆H₅Na₃O₇.2H₂O). Triangular silver nanoplates were also prepared by reducing silver salt using ascorbic acid which is a mild reducing agent. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-VIS spectrophotometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The reducing character of ascorbic acid was used to determine the amount of ascorbic acid in real sample like vitamin C tablets that are available in the market of Bangladesh.
