Abstract

The photo-sensitization synthetic technique of making silver nanoparticles using BP is studied using either a laser or a mercury lamp as a light source. In the laser synthesis, as either the laser power or the irradiation time increases, the intensity of the surface plasmon resonance absorption at 400 nm is found to increase linearly first, followed by a reduction of the red edge of the plasmon resonance absorption band. The above results are discussed in terms of a mechanism in which, the excited benzophenone forms the ketal radical, which reduces Ag+ in solution and on the Ag nanoparticle surface..

Keywords
