Electrochemical Properties of Silver Nanoparticle Doped Aminosilica Nanocomposite

Figure 2

Time-lapse UV-VIS absorption spectra of silver nanoparticles synthesized in an aminosilica (enTMOS) film. Each spectrum was measured at each 10 minute interval for a total of one hour in a methanol solution containing 0.1 M silver nitrate (AgNO3). The film was created on top of a FTO electrode followed by immersion in an AgNO3 solution to create silver nanoparticles. The absorbance peak at 400 nm indicates the presence of nanoparticles.
