All Procedures For the Synthesis of Silver Nanosheets

Two dimensional silver(i) coordination polymer, [ag(μ5-t4s)]n (1), (t4s- = toluene-4-sulfonate), has been synthesized and characterized by inductively coupled plasma (icp) and elemental analyses, ir spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction. this compound was calcined at 450, 500 and 700 °c in a furnace and static atmosphere of air. the resulting compound from 1 at 450 °c is a spongy nanostructure which could not be characterized due to its partial calcination process .at 500 and 700 °c, the compound is a mixture of silver and silver sulfate compacted nanosheets and microstructures. by increasing the temperature from 500 to 700 °c, the tendency for the formation of agglomerated mixture of silver and silver sulfate was increased. in addition, a number of one-step techniques including electrochemical deposition method, electroless deposition method, direct deposition method, redox reaction, mirror reaction, coating technique, self-seeding or self-assembling process and wet chemical method have been reviewed for the synthesis of twodimensional nano silver.
