In Situ Rapid Hierarchical Growth of Ag Nanodendrites in Phytantriol: Influence on Polydispersity and Optical Characteristics

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Silver nanodendrites (AgNDs) were effectively synthesized utilizing a phytantriol template at ambient temperature without electrodeposition. In comparison to AgNDs, the phytantriol-templated silver nanodendrites (P/AgNDs) exhibited a smoother structure with the well-ordered growth of smaller particles around 51 nm. Moreover, the P/AgNDs exhibited uniform elemental distribution, forming chemical bonds with functional groups, crystallite size around 42 nm, and high transmittance around 95%. These experimental findings indicate that room temperature-based hierarchical P/AgNDs have considerable potential for diverse applications, specifically in sensing.
