Silver Nanoparticle Deposition on Boron Nitride Surface

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in the functionalization of many materials. For this purpose, in our study, Ag (I) particles were deposited on boron nitride (BN) surfaces by using AgNO3 salt and NaBH4 reductants. A wet chemical reduction method, was used for this process. After precipitation, the solution was passed through filter paper and dried. The silver and boron nitride phases were confirmed by the XRD analysis of the solid mixture obtained. The analysis of the particles accumulated on the surface was examined using SEM images. As a result, it was understood that AgNPs particles did not form oxidic compounds and occurred on BN surfaces, but agglomerations were observed in some regions.
