Silver nanoparticles with spheres, rods have been prepared by a pulse sonoelectrochemical
technique from an aqueous solution of AgNO3 in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate C12H25NaO 4S -
(SDS). The as-prepared silver nanoparticles are characterized by electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), powder
X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis absorption spectrum. It was found that the concentration of AgNO3
and SDS affects the shape of the nanoparticles. The crystal size could be varied from 5 nm up to 200 nm by
controlling the various electrodeposition and sonic parameters. ?? 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd.
