摘要
Nanocrystalline silver particles with an average size of 15 nm have been prepared by reducing Ag(NH3)(2)(+) with N2H4 . H2O, with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfate (DBS) used as the stabilizing agent. The influence of DBS in the reaction is discussed. When the so-prepared silver particles were observed in situ under a transmission electron microscope, we observed an agglomeration and sputtering phenomenon induced by the electron beam. The possible reason for agglomeration and sputtering is proposed. Silver crystals of hexagonal shape, ranging from 20- to 120-mn in size, were formed on a copper grid. This phenomenon may offer a useful means of forming small particles. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
