Abstract

Preparation of silver nanoparticles in silver nitrate solution using tannin as a reductant and sodium carbonate-as a solution stabilizer was
performed. Spectrophotometric and electron-microscopic methods were used to investigate the process of synthesis of silver nanoparticles.
The effect of microwave power on the formation of nanoparticles was analyzed.

Key words: silver nanoparticle, tannin, silver nitrate, sodium carbonate, microwave irradiation.
