The use of an atmospheric pressure plasma leads to a very fast reduction of silver ions in extensive solvent volumes. In order to investigate the nanoparticle synthesis process, ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS) absorption spectra were recorded in situ. By using transmission electron microscopy and by the analysis of UV/VIS spectra, the kinetics of silver nanoparticle formation by plasma influence can be seen in more detail. For example, there are two different sections visible in the synthesis during the plasma exposure process. The first section of the synthesis is characterized by a linear formation of small spherical particles of nearly constant size. The second section is predominated by saturation effects. Here, particle faults are increasingly formed, induced by changes in the particle shape and the fusion of those particles. The plasma exposure time, therefore, determines the shape and size distribution of the nanoparticles. Keywords: silver nanoparticles synthesis; atmospheric pressure plasma; formation kinematic 1. Introduction In recent years, interest in the coupling of plasmas and liquids has strongly increased for scientific and technological reasons. The synthesis of nanoparticles by means of an atmospheric pressure plasma discharge ignited above a solution has attracted attention [1]. In the areas of medicine [2], textile technology [3], printing technology [4], biotechnology [5], and sensor technology, especially surface-enhanced Raman scattering [6], the silver nanoparticle creation is of particular interest due to its versatile application. The strong antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles is especially useful in the medical field [2]. Silver nanoparticle synthesis is usually achieved by reduction via sodium borohydride [7]. It is also possible to obtain silver nanoparticles by laser ablation of a silver solid within a solution [8], with gamma radiation, via UV-photoreduction [9], or through high-temperature reactions [10]. There is also an ecologically valuable way to synthesize silver nanoparticles of different sizes by using 􏰁􏰂􏰃 􏰅􏰆􏰇 􏰈􏰉􏰊􏰋􏰌􏰂􏰍 Nanomaterials 2020, 10, 555; doi:10.3390/nano10030555 www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomaterials
