HOT Article: Growth and formation of silver nanoparticles

Simultaneous UV/Vis spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman scattering of nanoparticle formation and aggregation in levitated droplets

Albrecht et al., Anal. Methods, 2012, Advance Article

In this HOT article Merwe Albrecht and co-workers from BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, Germany, have studied the formation and growth of hydroxylamine reduced silver nanoparticles using simultaneous Raman and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Based on these results, a mechanism for the particle formation was proposed.
