Palladium nanoparticles were prepared using mulberry leaf extract. The effects of reaction temperature, reactant concentration on the morphology of nano particles were studied. The properties of products were characterized by XPS, SEM and FTIR. The results showed that it was impossible to get palladium nanoparticles at low temperature. However, palladium nanoparticles could be obtained with appropriate temperature of 60℃. Reactant concentration had great influence on the morphology of palladium nanoparticles. Adding different amounts of mulberry leaves extract, variable shapes of palladium nanoparticles were prepared, such as sphere, triangle and bar. |
