Nonaqueous preparation of stable silver nano particles dispersions from organic sulfonic acids

The conditions for stable silver nanoparticles dispersions synthesis from organic sulfonic acids in an anhydrous medium of ethylene glycol and its methyl ester were studied. Ascorbic acid and potassium citrate were used as reducing agents. keywords: Silver nanoparticles, Silver toluenesulfonate, Silver methanesulfonate, Ethylene glycol, Methyl cellosolve.
