Impact of polyvinylpyrrolidone and quantity of silver nitrate on silver nanoparticles sizing via solvothermal method for dye-sensitized solar cells

The multiple sizing of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized from the miscible compound of ethylene glycol (EG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) via the solvothermal method. During the synthesis, the PVP-AgNO3 was contemplated as a paramount parameter. Using the simple...
