Electrochemical Properties of Silver Nanoparticle Doped Aminosilica Nanocomposite by Yong-Jae Choi, Tzy-Jiun M. Luo

“…The electrochemical properties of silver nanoparticle (d∼ 5 nm) synthesized within aminosilica film from spontaneous reduction reaction were examined using cyclic voltammetry and the results show that the nanocomposite film exhibits similar redox property as solution-synthesized silver nanoparticles when measuring in phosphate buffer solution and its redox potentials were found to be sensitive to the presence of chloride ions. It also shows that silver nanoparticles and hydrolyzed aminosilica increase the electron diffusivity of the aminosilica film. …”
