Stability improving effect of silver diamminohydroxide precursor in green hydrothermal synthesis of silver nanoparticle colloids

The results of this reported work indicate that the precursor plays a significant role as well as surfactant in the hydrothermal synthesis of high-quality silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). To address the existent stability difficulties in the long-term storage and application conditions of AgNP hydrocolloids, silver diamminohydroxide ([Ag(NH3)2]OH) is attempted as the silver precursor instead of conve...
