The size-and shape-controlled synthesis of silver nanoparticles by solvothermal method

In this work, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) were fabricated by the solvothermal method of silver nitrate in different organic solvents with the presence of sodium oleate (SOA) and 1- octadecanol (OCD-ol). The effects of different solvents and concentrations of OCD-ol on the morphology and properties of the Ag nanomaterials were investigated in detail.
