TLDR
An overview of silver nanoparticle preparation by physical, chemical, and biological synthesis is presented to reflect on the current state and future prospects, especially the potentials and limitations of the above mentioned techniques for industries.Abstract:
Silver nanoparticles (NPs) have been the subjects of researchers because of their unique properties (e.g., size and shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). A variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of silver NPs; notable examples include, laser ablation, gamma irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods, microwave processing, and biological synthetic methods. This review presents an overview of silver nanoparticle preparation by physical, chemical, and biological synthesis. The aim of this review article is, therefore, to reflect on the current state and future prospects, especially the potentials and limitations of the above mentioned techniques for industries.read more

Role of Phenol Derivatives in the Formation of Silver Nanoparticles
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dihydroxy benzenes are excellent reducing agents and may be used to reduce silver ions to synthesize stable silver nanoparticles in air-saturated aqueous solutions and that primary intermediates undergo slower transformation in the presence of dihydroxyphene than in their absence.

Radiolysis of silver ion solutions in ethylene glycol: solvated electron and radical scavenging yields
TL;DR: In this article, the formation mechanisms of the radicals and the rate constants in ethylene glycol are compared with those in water and methanol, and it is concluded that they originate from the electron-cation recombination and from the cation-ethylene glycol reaction, but that the dissociation of excited states is a negligible path.
