文摘

Nearly monodispersed spherical silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized by using tannic acid (TA) as both reductant and stabilizer in a 30 掳C water bath. The size of the as-prepared Ag NPs could be tuned in a range of 7鈥?6 nm by changing the molar ratio of TA to silver nitrate and pH of the reaction solutions. UV鈥搗is spectra, TEM observations, and temporal evolution of the monomer concentrations for the reactions carried out at different experimental conditions showed that the improved size distribution and size tunability of the Ag NPs were mainly attributed to the use of TA, which could promote the balance of nucleation and growth processes of the NPs effectively. The size of the Ag NPs was extendable up to 200 nm in one-pot fashion by the multi-injection approach. The size-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of the as-prepared Ag NPs was evaluated, and the NPs with size around 100 nm were identified to show a maximum enhanced factor of 3.6 脳 10⁵. Moreover, the as-prepared TA-coated Ag NPs presented excellent colloidal stability compared to the conventional citrate-coated ones.
