N2 - This study reports the characterization and catalytic activities of silver-oxide/silver nanoparticles (Ag2O/Ag NPs) synthesized by microwave-assisted colloidal method in the presence of anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant. To promote different contents of silver in silver oxide, the volume ratio (VR) of ethylene glycol (EG) was varied (VR: 10% to 14%) in relation to the total volume of distilled water solvent. The plasmonic resonance of Ag2O/Ag NPs could be detected around a wavelength of 350 nm, and it is suggested that Ag2O/Ag NPs were successfully formed in the colloid solution following exposure to microwaves. Additionally, the growth rate for each crystal phase within Ag2O and Ag was influenced by an increase of EG as revealed by x-ray diffraction patterns. The morphology, average diameter, and uniformity of Ag2O/Ag NPs were studied simultaneously by transmission electron microscopy. Infrared absorption measurement of Ag2O/Ag NPs confirmed the existence of SDS surfactant as a protective agent. Based on the characterization data, Ag2O/Ag NPs synthesized using this technique exhibited good properties, with high-yield production of NPs. The photocatalytic experiments demonstrate the key role of the crystal phase of Ag2O/Ag NPs in photocatalytic efficiency.
