Abstract. In this paper we report the effect of irradiation time on the morphological and dimensional properties of colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using sodium citrate and silver nitrate as reductant and oxidant, respectively under microwave irradiation. The prepared NPs were characterized by UV vis spectroscopy, Particle size analyzer (PSA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected areas electron diffraction (SAED). The formation of Ag NPs was confirmed by the appearance of a surface plasmon absorption between nm. PSA showed that the colloidal nanoparticles had a diameters ranging from nm. TEM images showed that the diameter of the silver nanoparticles in accordance with the results obtained using PSA. The rings patterns are in good agreement with the standard values of the facecentered-cubic form of silver nanocrystals. Introduction Silver nanoparticles have significant properties in the application of consumer products, food technology (for example: food processing equipment, food packaging, food storage unit), textiles (clothing antimicrobial), and medical applications [1] (e.g. aids products medical, surgical equipment). Silver nanoparticles also have unique physical and optical properties which are not present in the form of bulk metal, and claimed to have great potential for broader medical applications such as: diagnostics, drug delivery, and sensors. Synthesis of nanoparticles in solution (colloidal solution) requires the use of methods that can precisely control the size and shape of the nanoparticles to produce a set of dispersion of nanoparticles with specific properties. In general, the synthesis of metal nanoparticles in solution is done by using the following components: a) precursor, b) a reducing compound, and c) compound stabilizers [2,3]. The mechanism of the formation of a colloidal solution of silver ions reduction of (I) consists of two stages: nucleation and growth. Nucleation stage requires a high activation energy, whereas the growth stage requires a low activation energy. The size and shape of nanoparticles will depend on the relative speed of the process that can be controlled by setting the reaction parameters (concentration, temperature, ph, and reducing power). The process of preparation of colloidal silver nanoparticles has been the subject of a large number of researchers in many laboratories [4,5]. Ag Nanoparticles can be synthesized using various methods: laser irradiation, sonolectrochemical [6], photochemical reduction, laser ablation technique [7,8]; chemical reduction of metal salt [9], and recently via bio- or green-synthesis route [10]. Microwave irradiation is a novel method to accelerated the preparation of inorganic nanoparticles as well as various nanostructures such us nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowire [11]. The method in which nanoparticles can be synthesized by the reaction between the metal salt and a reducing compound is the most preferred technique. Therefore, in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from AgNO3 using weak reducing compounds such as ascorbic acid, polyol, and monosaccharides

2 Advanced Materials Research Vol widely reported [12,13]. Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Tollens method also allows to be done, where this method has long been used to produce thin-film coating of silver by electrolytic deposition. There are many synthetic routes that have been developed to synthesize AgNPs due to the applications found tremendously in wide range of fields. Chemical reduction methods is widely used to synthesize AgNPs because of its readiness to generate AgNPs under gentle conditions and its ability to synthesize AgNPs on a large scale [14,15]. The eco-friendly biosynthesis of AgNPs is also a concern of many experts lately because it has the advantage of being more environmentally friendly [16,17]. In the present study, we attempted to synthesize AgNPs using the microwave irradiation technique with sodium citrate as a reducing agent and AgNO3 as precursor. This work reports the effect of sodium citrate concentrations and irradiation time on the morphological and dimensional properties of colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The prepared NPs were characterized by UV vis spectroscopy, Particle size analyzer (PSA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected areas electron diffraction (SAED). Material and Method Chemicals. All the experiments were conducted at room temperature % pure silver nitrate (AgNO3), and Sodium Citrate are purchased from Sigma Aldrich,. Household Microwave (Carrefour product) of fixed freq GHz, power source 1400W and power consumption 900 W was used for the synthesis of AgNPs. Synthesis of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles. The preparation of AgNPs under microwave irradiation is quite directly forward. In a typical synthesis, 10 ml AgNO3 1 x 10-3M was added to 1 ml sodium citrate 1% (w/w) in erlenmeyer flask. The mixture was then put into the microwave with a variation of heating time (145s, 180s, 210s, 215S and 240s). Reaction products were characterized by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength ( ) nm to determine the absorption spectra, and the value max. PSA characterization carried out to determine the particle size. Methods. The formation of the colloidal silver nanoparticles was monitored using UV Vis spectroscopy by employing a Photolab 6600 UV-Vis spectrophotometer operated on nm wavelength. UV Vis analysis of the reaction mixture was observed for a period of 240 s. Distilled water was used as a solvent for UV study. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image of the sample was obtained using JEOL Model JEM-1400 instrument. Sample for TEM analysis were prepared by coating of aqueous AgNPs drops on carbon-coated copper grids, kept for 5 min; the extra solution was removed using blotting paper. The film of the TEM grid is dried by exposed to IR light. Results and Discussion Fig. 1 shows TEM micrographs with different magnifications of citrate-agnps, which were prepared by citrate reduction under microwave irradiation. The particles are in broad size distribution from 17 to 59 nm with an average size of 41 nm. In the first method, the aqueous AgNO 3 solution was treated with sodium citrate under microwave irradiation. The use of microwave heating is intended to speed up the reaction time with the same results than the use of conventional heating. Absorption spectrum UV-Vis has urgency in explaining the formation of silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles give the characteristic absorption peak at a wavelength of around 410 nm. The TEM features clearly reveal that these particles are separated and are not uniform. Similar to that described by Van Dong and Coworkers [9], the mechanism of the reaction in this method could be expressed as follows: 4Ag + + C 6 H 5 O 7 Na 3 + 2H 2 O 4 Ag 0 + C 6 H 5 O 7 H 3 + 3Na + + H + + O 2 The colloidal silver nanoparticles formed by the process above remain in suspension by their mutual electrostatic repulsion generated and maintained by a net negative charge on their surface.

3 140 Material Science and Engineering Technology III (a) (b) (c) Fig. 1 (a and b) TEM Image of synthesized silver nanoparticles as citrate-agnps, (c) SAED pattern of the nanoparticles Effect of Microwave irradiation time The difference in times of microwave irradiation was conducted to determine the optimal heating time to produce colloidal silver nanoparticles. In this study, the heating times were chosen for observation are: 145s, 180s, 210s, 215S and 240s. Based on the results of previous research done by the author, irradiation time less than 145 seconds does not produce colloidal silver nanoparticles were characterized by the color of the reaction mixture is clear, while the irradiation time more than 240 seconds produces dark red reaction mixture indicating colloidal silver nanoparticles have agglomerated. Fig. 2 shows the UV-vis absorbance spectra of the colloidal AgNPs synthesized using AgNO 3 as precursor and natrium citrate as reductant under microwave irradiation at several irradiation times. Fig. 2. UV-Visible absorption spectra recorded at 25 o C of the AgNPs at different irradiation times (in seconds). Reaction condition: [sodium citrate]=1% (w/v), [Ag + ]=1x10-3 M. UV-Vis spectra (Fig. 2) shows the irradiation time affects the maximum wavelength of colloidal nanoparticles. The main advantages of microwave assisted methods over conventional synthetic methods are increase in the kinetics of reaction by two orders of magnitude, rapid initial heating and generation of localized heat at reaction sites, thereby increasing the rate reaction [18,19].

4 Advanced Materials Research Vol Fig. 3. Effects of irradiation time on the surface plasmon absorbance and the maximum wavelength ( max ) of colloidal silver nanoparticles Based on the data shown in Fig. 3, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles with irradiation time of 145 seconds produces the smallest max = 411nm with a value of absorbance, while the largest absorbance value 2.16 with max = 419 nm achieved at irradiation time of 210 seconds. These results indicate the formation of silver nanoparticles reaction has not been completed in 145 seconds irradiation time due to low absorbance values. However, when the irradiation time reaches 210 seconds or more, absorbance reaches the highest value (2.61) and then decreased with increasing irradiation time, based on these results, it can be presumed that silver nanoparticles undergo a process of agglomeration after passing through the optimum irradiation time. Fig. 4.Volume density (%) spectra of of the AgNPs at different irradiation times. Reaction condition: [sodium citrate]=1% (w/v), [Ag + ]=1x10-3 M. The TEM Image that was shown in Fig. 1 corresponds to their particle size distribution data of AgNPs at different periods of irradiation time in Fig. 4. Data from the PSA measurement showed that the synthesis of silver nanoparticles by microwave irradiation of more than 210 seconds tend to produce large-sized silver nanoparticles presumably due to the agglomeration process. Meanwhile, at

5 142 Material Science and Engineering Technology III the time of irradiation is less than 210 seconds, the size of the nanoparticles tend to be smaller than the optimal size and will increase along with the increase of irradiation time. Table 1. Dimensional data of synthesized AgNPs measured by Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) Irradiation times (s) D x10 (nm) D x50 (nm) D x90 (nm) D [4,3] (nm) Based on data on Fig. 4, Table 1 provides further information about the size of silver nanoparticles based on data from Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). All the data showed a relative narrow size in all parameters of PSA, indicating the existence of AgNPs with well controlled size. Nanoparticles with the smallest size of 25.5 nm (D[4,3]) was obtained on irradiation time 210 seconds, while the largest sized nanoparticles occurs at the irradiation time of 240 seconds at 41.2 nm (D[4,3]). These results are consistent with the data shown in the UV-vis spectra in Fig. 1 that the optimum absorbance value (2.61) is achieved at a maximum wavelength 419 nm. Conclusions In summary, we have shown that it is possible to prepare AgNPs under microwave irradiation with sodium citrate as reductant and silver nitrat salt as precursor. The present synthesis route is an eco-friendly, efficient, simple and fast process for synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by the appearance of a surface plasmon absorption between nm. PSA showed that the colloidal nanoparticles had a diameters ranging from nm. TEM images showed that the diameter of the silver nanoparticles in accordance with the results obtained using PSA. The as-prepared colloidal AgNPs were highly stable and did not show any signs of aggregation even after storage for several months at room temperature.
