Figure 7. PXRD pattern and stability of silver nanoparticles formed upon autoclaving AgNO3 with mannitol and yeast extract (YE).

Figure 7

a: PXRD pattern of the silver nanoparticles formed with (i) YE and (ii) mannitol showing bragg reflections characteristic of crystalline face-centred cubic structure of Ag () and cubic structure of Ag2O ()*. b: Ag nanoparticles formed from 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 mM AgNO3 autoclaved independently with 53 mM mannitol and 0.1% YE after 1 month with no signs of agglomeration.
