Abstract

This work is devoted to studying the structural and morphological properties of a silver colloidal solution obtained by the method of electrical-spark discharge in distilled water. Silver nanoparticles are formed as a result of metal sputtering from the surfaces of silver electrodes, between which a high-voltage electric discharge is generated. The solution is stabilized by forming a layer of anions around the nanoparticles. The structural characteristics of the colloidal solution are studied by small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The ionic composition is determined qualitatively using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, while silver concentration is measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry.
