Abstract

In this paper, we reported various silver nanoparticle (Nps) morphologies (spherical, triangular, and rod forms) that were created using a conventional chemical approach for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). AgNO3 was used as a precursor in the fabrication of the various morphologies, and then various chemicals and capping agents were added to produce the desired morphologies. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the internal morphology verified the creation of various morphologies of silver Nps. Triangular-shaped particles generated the best results when the samples were tested using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). UV–Vis Spectroscopy was used to record the absorption spectra of prepared samples for further detailed studies. Numerous optical, biological, antibacterial, and energy-storage applications are possible with these Nps.
