Shaped silver nanoparticles with spheres, rods, and dendrites have been pre
pared by a pulse sonoelectrochemical technique from an aqueous solution of
AgNO3 in the presence of nitrilotriacetate N(CH2COOH)(3)-NTA. The silver na
noparticles were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy, X
-ray diffraction, and absorption spectroscopy. The effects of electrosonic
time on particle shape have been discussed. It was found that the concentra
tion of AgNO3 and NTA affects the shape of the nanoparticles.
