Synthesis of silver metal nanodispersions using Tollens reagent

摘要

It is shown that silver metal nanodispersions can be produced through the silver mirror reaction using the Tollens reagent in Aerosol OT-stabilized water-in-oil microemulsions using glucose as a reducing agent. The ranges of the formation of microemulsions and their droplet sizes, as well as component ratios and reaction conditions that yield stable nanodispersions, are determined.
