Abstract

Nano-structures of AgCl have been prepared by reaction between AgNO3 and KCl under ultrasound irradiation. Particle sizes and morphology of nanoparticle are depending on temperature and reaction time. The effects of these parameters in growth and morphology of the nano-structures have been studied. The solvents have noticeable influences on the morphology of the silver chloride particles. With an increase in the temperature and reaction time, growth toke place on more nuclei. As a result, an increase in temperature and reaction time led to increase of particle size. The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
