Abstract

This work presents a new methodology for preparing silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl NPs) using human urine. The XRD and EDS results confirmed the formation of AgCl NPs without any other impurities. The FESEM results displayed the formation of clusters of spherical AgCl NPs with multiple Nano-diameters. The study of optical properties corresponds to the behavior of AgCl NPs in the visible region. The results showed that the sample has an energy gap of (Eg) 3.25 eV. Therefore, the author suggests that the results of the current work open a broad horizon for the employment of human urine in various applications.
