Sumario: | [Image: see text] The complex process of nanoparticle formation in an aqueous solution is governed by kinetics and thermodynamic factors. This paper describes a room-temperature growth kinetic study and evaluation of thermodynamic activation parameters of monodispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized in alkaline medium by chemical reduction method using AgNO(3) as a source of Ag(+) ions and tannic acid (TA) as a reductant (reducing agent) as well as a capping or stabilizing agent in the absence of any other external stabilizer. A simple and conveniently handled reaction process was monitored spectrophotometrically to study the growth kinetics in an aqueous solution as a function of the concentration of silver ion, hydroxide ion, and TA, respectively. The neutral nucleophilic group donates the electron density via a lone pair of electrons to Ag(+) ions for the reduction process, i.e., for the nucleation of AgNPs colloid. Also, a few silver ions form a silver oxide, which also facilitates the nucleation center to enhance the growth of AgNPs colloid. The decrease and increase in rate constant on varying the TA concentration showed its adsorption onto the surface of metallic AgNPs and stabilized by polygalloyl units of TA and were the main elements to control the growth kinetics. Consequently, stabilized TA-mediated AgNPs are formed using the electron donated by quinone form of TA followed by a pseudo-first-order reaction. Apart from this, nanoparticles formed were characterized using UV–visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction techniques to confirm its formation during the present kinetic study. |
