ABSTRACT

Through reducing action of diethylene triamine and the regulatory role of 1-hexadecylpyridinium bromide, uniform, mono-dispersed and stabilized silver nanoparticles were obtained by chemical reduction method in room temperature. The size of the obtained silver particles is about 60–90 nm. The reaction process of the formation of silver nanoparticle has a distinct color change, varying from colorless to pale yellow and finally brownish yellow. The as-prepared silver nanoparticles have showed a relatively good photocatalytic property on Congo red and Rhodamine B.
