Randomized trial demonstrates improved synthesis of uniform silver nanoparticles, suggesting a scalable production method.

This research aims to develop a reproducible and environmentally friendly synthesis method for silver nanoparticles.
Utilized silver nitrate, trisodium citrate, and ascorbic acid in a three-component wet-chemical synthesis.
Investigated the impact of ascorbic acid and citrate concentrations on nucleation, growth, and stabilization of silver nanoparticles.
Conducted time-resolved kinetic analyses to explore distinct reaction pathways.
Spherical silver nanoparticles produced with 43.6 ± 3.3 nm diameter and narrow LSPR band at 400 nm.
Colloidal stability confirmed with zeta potential measurements indicating excellent stability.
Deviating from the standard protocol resulted in increased polydispersity and anisotropic growth.

Moruz et al. (2026) studied this question.
