Investigating the Shape and Size-Dependent Optical Properties of Silver Nanostructures Using UV–vis Spectroscopy

In the laboratory experiment described here, students synthesize silver nanostructures (AgNS) with different shapes and sizes to elucidate the shape- and size-dependent optical properties of nanostructured materials. Students also develop understanding of some thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of th...
