(2022). Nanocellulose as a stabilizing agent in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles under trace level trisodium citrate. Science Focus. 27, 1-8.1596 - 7026https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/20.500.12484/10248Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized in dilute solutions of silver metal precursor and reducing agents are less toxic and safe for diverse applications.In this research, AgNPs which were successfully synthesized at trace level of trisodium citrate and stabilized with cellulose nanoparticles were characterized withFTIR spectroscopy,UV-Vis, x-raydiffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The AgNPs synthesized in the presence of nanocellulose had better surface plasmon resonance and showed lesser aggregation according to the UV and SEM results.enSilver nanoparticles, Nanocellulose, Stabilizing, AggregationArticle
