X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that RGO was generated in the photoinduced process. The acceleration effect of RGO was investigated through monitoring the extinction spectra of silver nanoparticles during the synthesis process. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to characterize the evolution of morphologies of silver nanoparticles at different irradiation times to demonstrate the effect of RGO. The results indicate that RGO accelerates the photoinduced synthesis of silver nanoparticles. It is proposed that the acceleration effect of RGO on the photoinduced reaction is attributed to the particular property of high electronic conductivity Language eng DOI 10.1039/C3CP44312D Field of Research 100706 Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly 030306 Synthesis of Materials Socio Economic Objective 970103 Expanding Knowledge in the Chemical Sciences HERDC Research category C1 Refereed article in a scholarly journal Copyright notice ©2013, Royal Society of Chemistry Free to Read?
