Abstract: Silver nanoprisms have been prepared by a soft solution approach under microwave irradiation from the solution of silver nitrate(AgNO3) in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) without any other reducing agent.The reaction process was followed by X-ray powder diffraction, TEMand UV-Vis spectroscopy.The results showed that silver nanoprisms were formed from the spherical nanoparticles.Most of them were triangular(edge length 50-100 nm) or truncated triangular nanoprisms and two distinct quadrupole plasmon resonances in UV-Vis spectra were observed.With reaction progress, the colloid solution with a interesting color was obtained.The influences of the PVP/AgNO3mass ratio, solid content and inorganic precursor on the optical properties and morphology of silver nanoparticles were investigated.
