A simple, green, and fast approach (complete within 5 min) was explored for the fabrication of hybrid AgCl/Ag plasmonic nanoparticles under microwave (MW) irradiation. In this method, beet juice served as a reducing reagent, which is an abundant sugar-rich agricultural produce. Interestingly, the obtained AgCl/Ag samples have a smaller size than the AgCl reaction precursor. This makes it an unusual top-down hydrothermal synthesis. The as-prepared material displayed good photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye.
本研究探索了一种简单、绿色、快速的方法（在 5 分钟内完成），在微波（MW）照射下制备 AgCl/Ag 等离子体纳米粒子的杂化材料。在该方法中，甜菜汁作为一种还原剂，这是一种丰富的含糖农业产品。有趣的是，得到的 AgCl/Ag 样品比 AgCl 反应前体的尺寸更小。这使其成为一种非典型的自上而下的水热合成方法。所制备的材料对甲基橙（MO）染料的降解表现出良好的光催化活性。
