The shape and size of the Ag NP with reaction time were taken as variables. The surface plasmon band transition was monitored with reaction mixture time at different temperatures. The Ag NP crystallinity increases with the reaction time, and the reduction efficiency is very low when Ag NP solution is dealt at room temperature even after two days, while it is greatly improved at 160 °C only for 25 min. Ag NP modified by the as-synthesized PVP has a face-centered cubic crystalline structure, in which Ag NP could develop into a spherical morphology with a very narrow size distribution of 2-11 nm. The preparation provides a new reducing agent to form Ag NP with simpler operation and shorter time.展开更多
