The substance was found to consist exclusively of silver nanopartides (for partide size distribution see Figure 10.12). Silica nanopartides were frequently found in the product. We attribute this to sputter effects of the glass reactor walls. These sputter effects can easily be reduced by a more sophisticated design of the plasma reactor. 

Just as in the case of gold nanopartides, appropriate choice of the capping agent for modification of the surface of nanopartides may be used to accomplish the phase transfer of aqueous silver nanopartides. Wang, Efrima and Regev have shown that silver nanopartides can be phase transferred from water to organic solvents by binding the nanopartides to sodium oleate present in cyclohexane/...

Superlattices of 5.0 nm silver nanopartides have also become available from alkylthiolate-protected colloids [7-9]. Subsequent examination using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) permitted quite precise information regarding the architecture of the crystals to be obtained, and confirmed that these materials consisted of highly ordered truncated octahedrons (see Figure 4.7).
