The invention belongs to the technical field of nanometer
material synthesis, and particularly relates to a nanometer silver particle and a synthetic method thereof. The nanometer silver particle is in a spherical shape or a similar spherical shape, the surface of the nanometer silver particle is provided with a
biomolecule wrapping layer, and biomolecules contain carboxyl groups with
negative charge oxygen atoms. The nanometer silver particle is of a cubic
crystal structure, and the particle
diameter of the nanometer silver particle is 50 to 150nm. The nanometer silver particle is prepared by a biological material reduction method,
orange juice and Ag<+> solution are uniformly mixed, the stirring is carried out at 26 to 34 DEG C, the
centrifugal separation is carried out after the reaction completion, precipitates are washed and dried, and the nanometer silver particle is obtained. The biomolecules in the
orange juice are used as templates, AgNO3 solution is utilized for providing silver ions, and the nanometer silver particle with the spherical appearance is synthesized through regulation and control. In fruit and vegetable juice such as
orange juice,
oxygen atoms on the groups such as carboxyl contained in biomolecules such as
amino acid and
vitamin mostly carry residual negative charges, the residual negative charges generate mutual effects with Ag<+>,
nucleation sites are provided, and the generation of the nanometer silver particle is induced, regulated and controlled.
