Fig 2. Characterization of AgNPs.

Fig 2

(A) An average hydrodynamic size of mono-dispersed sample containing AgNPs is 252.9 nm by DLS measurements (B) TEM image of AgNPS in suspension on Cu grid are in the range of 20–100 nm and spherical in shape. Majority of these particles fall in the size range of 20-50nm (C) X-ray diffraction measurements displayed the average crystallite size to be ~ 47 nm which is obtained by using Scherrer’s formula. (D) Zeta potential value of -27.4 mv displayed moderate stability of AgNPs.
