Abstract

The plasma-assisted method was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles, and the growth process of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) was monitored in real time by localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) absorption spectroscopy. The effect of additives on the synthesis of Ag-NPs was verified. It is found that the addition of isopropanol and glucose can increase the plasmon resonance absorption intensity of the reaction solution, and promote the synthesis of Ag-NPs. In the plasma-assisted method, the additives can effectively improve the synthesis efficiency of Ag-NPs, which has great inspiration for the synthesis of other metal nanoparticles.
