Abstract
It is for the first time that silver sulfide colloidal solutions were prepared by chemical deposition from silver nitrate and sodium sulfide solutions in heavy water D2O. Sodium citrate served as the stabilizer. The sizes of Ag2S nanoparticles in colloidal solutions were assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and electron microscopy. The silver sulfide nanoparticles in heavy water colloidal solutions prepared from batches having various reagent concentrations had sizes in the range from 3 to 19–20 nm. The increasing silver nitrate concentration and decreasing sodium citrate concentration in the batch only slightly increased the sizes of Ag2S nanoparticles in the prepared colloidal solutions. The silver sulfide colloidal solutions prepared with heavy water D2O retained their stability and unchanged nanoparticle sizes when stored for more than 100 days.
