XRD diffractograms obtained for the Al2O3-Ag+ nanopowder (a), intermediary product after the thermal decomposition conducted at a temperature of 700°C for 24 h (Al2O3-Ag2O) (b), and the final product after the reduction process conducted at a temperature of 700°C for 2 h in H2 (Al2O3-Ag) (c). The final product contained 2.84 wt% of silver.
