Solution chemical reduction method is a means which used reducing agent in aqueous or organic systems to deoxidize silver ions. Its essence is an integrated process of the electrochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics and fluid dynamics and so on. The process determines the physical and chemical properties such as the size distribution of powder, purity and reunion situations, etc. Nano-silver powder has high surface activity and catalytic properties, and is widely used to a lot of fields. So it has very important realistic significance to study the preparation method. In this paper, nano-silver powder was prepared with industrial AgNO3 as raw materials, sodium borohydride or hydrazine hydrate as reducing agent, polyvinyl alcohol, SDBS or polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) as the surface protective agent by solution chemical reduction method. The influences of different reducing agents and protective agents on the preparation of nano-silver were analyzed. The results from the XRD diffraction analysis and TEM show that it can be obtained high purity flake nano-silver in the reaction temperature range of 50-60°C.

It has many advantages with liquid phase reduction method to prepare the nano-silver, such as experimental conditions are simple, low cost, energy-saving, etc.. At the same time, the nano silver powder prepared by this method has high surface activity, catalytic property and wide usage. In this paper, nano-silver powder was prepared by changing the amount of protective agents with chemical liquid phase reduction method. This paper focuses on the impact of the amount of protective agent on the nano-silver. In addition, we also analyzed the reaction temperature, PH value of solution, viscosity and electrical conductivity on the preparation of nano-silver. Finally, test results from the TEM shows that the nano-silver was prepared with smaller size, uniform size and good dispersion.

The synthesis of spherical silver powders by chemical reduction method was investigated. Conductive metal pastes to have good properties in adhesion, stability, and conductivity, it is very important to control the purity, size, and shape of metal particles. In the present study, proper methods to control the properties of micron sized metal powders for conductive pastes are investigated. Chemical reduction method in aqueous solution was adapted to produce silver powder. The effects of reaction time, concentration of reductant and additives, and stirring speed were investigated, in experimental. Fine spherical silver powder of 0.5 to 3 ㎛ were synthesized from silver nitrate solution with hydroquinone as a reducing additive by liquid phase method, and some variables and reaction mechanism in conjunction with the particle morphology and size were studied.

Silver-chitosan nanocomposites colloidal was successfully performed by chemical reduction method at room temperature using glucose as reducing agent, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as accelerator reagent, silver nitrate (AgNO3) as metal precursor and chitosan as stabilizing agent. Compared to other synthetic methods, this work is green and simple. The effect of the amount of NaOH, molar ratio of AgNO3 to glucose and AgNO3 concentration towards Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) absorption band of silver nanoparticles was investigated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The stability of the colloid was also studied for the first 16 weeks of storage at ambient temperature. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by the appearance of LSPR absorption peak at 402.4–414.5 nm. It is also shown that the absorption peak of LSPR were affected by NaOH amount, ratio molar AgNO3/glucose and concentration of AgNO3. The produced silver nanoparticles were spherical with dominant size range of 6 to 18 nm as shown by TEM images. All colloidals were stable without any aggregation for 16 weeks after preparation. The newly prepared silver-chitosan nanocomposites colloidal may have potential for antibacterial applications.
