Mechanochemical synthesis of Ag nanoparticles using ascorbic acidBalážová, L'udmila (Avtor) Augustyniak, Adrian (Avtor) Daneu, Nina (Avtor) Sopčák, Tibor (Avtor) Kočišová, Ivana (Avtor) Tampubolon, Imelda Octa (Avtor) Baláž, Matej (Avtor) silver nanoparticlesmechanochemistryMechanochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles using ascorbic acid as a reductant was completed after 30 min of planetary ball milling, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction and FT-infrared spectroscopy. The estimated average crystallite size of the produced Ag nanoparticles was 54 ± 2 nm. TEM analysis revealed a polymodal distribution of Ag nanoparticles crystallite sizes. The product exhibited potent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus.The Royal Society of Chemistry 20262026-07-14 13:29:02Neznano31133UDK: 620.3ISSN pri članku: 2046-2069DOI: 10.1039/d6ra01504bCOBISS_ID: 284682243Združeno kraljestvosl© 2026 The Author(s).
