Silver (I) oxide (Ag2O) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a simple solution reduction method. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and dyna...
