Functionalized-AgNPs for Long-Term Stability and Its Applicability in the Detection of Manganese Ions

<div>Schematic representation of AgNPs/PHMB: (a) NaBH<sub>4</sub> reduction Ag<sup>+</sup> to AgNPs in the presence of PHMB; (b) the formation of the coordinate covalent bond between silver metal atoms (Ag<sup>0</sup>) and free-covalence electron pairs of the nitrogen (N) atom in PHMB molecules; and (c) mechanism stabilization of the AgNPs/PHMB via repulsion force AgNPs/PHMB particles.</div>
