Effect of Variation in Voltage on the Synthesis of Ag Nanopowder by Pulsed Wire Evaporation

Table 1

Particle size of nanopowders calculated using X-ray peak broadening and TEM observations.

Supply voltage (V)	Particle size from XRD (nm)	Particle size from TEM (nm)	Particle morphology	Dispersibility
210	39.9	12.2 ± 3.4	Spherical	Good
260	52.5	19.8 ± 4.4	Spherical	Not good
310	55.9	22.7 ± 5.6	Spherical	Not good
