This paper continues our previous work on preparation of triangular silver nanoparticles. The method proceeds with reaction of silver nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in aqueous solution. Effects of the concentration of PVP on the morphologies of Ag NPs were systematically investigated. The obtained Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, triangular Ag NPs with edge lengths in the range of 50-200 nm were obtained using PVP as protective agent with lower concentration. As the concentration of PVP increased, spherical Ag NPs with their sizes about 6.2 nm were prepared and triangular Ag NPs were not obtained. The formation mechanism of triangular Ag NPs has been studied. Ostwald ripening is the driving force on the conversion of spherical Ag NPs to triangular Ag NPs in the presence of PVP.

Without using protecting agent and solvent, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesised by using lactams as reducing agents. Being the most commercially available lactam, ϵ-caprolactam (CL) was taken as a model to illustrate the evolution of Ag NPs in the medium of lactams. The results showed that there were two different stages involved in the Ag NP evolution process. In the first stage, particles were stabilised against further coalescence at a smaller size (< 5 nm) because of face-bound CL. In the second stage, the Ostwald ripening mechanism cooperated with continuous reduction of residual silver ions, which resulted in the resultant particles being distributed with different size distribution. The participation of CL in the reducing and protecting procedures raised a complex evolution of Ag NPs.
