Abstract

Size and morphology controlled silver sulfide (Ag₂S) nanoparticles were synthesized using single (oleylamine) and mixed (octadecene and dodecanethiol) solvents by thermal decomposition method. Structural and morphological properties of Ag₂S nanostructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction method and transmission electron microscope. Comparatively higher crystalline Ag₂S nanoparticles were synthesized in single solvent than mixed solvent, however, larger size of the particles (>10 nm) synthesized in single solvent became fluorescence inactive. The controlled size of 3–5 nm in diameter was achieved irrespective of increasing temperature till 225 °C by mixed solvent synthesis and the photoluminescence showed the emission in the second near infrared region (NIR II).
