Fabrication of silver nanoparticles with limited size distribution on TiO2 containing zeolites.

ABSTRACT

Here we present a simple route to produce well-defined photo-reduced silver nanoparticles on TiO2 containing zeolites. We used natural and artificial irradiation sources to study their effect on the particle size distribution. The samples were investigated by electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence microscopy and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.
