The flower-like silver nanoparticles have been synthesized by reducing silver nitrate (AgNO₃) with ascorbic acid (AA) as the reductant and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as the capping agent under vigorous stirring. Such flower-like nanoparticles are aggregates of small nanoplates and nanorods. They were tested as substrates for the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), showing high sensitivity for detecting Rhodamine 6G (R6G) at a concentration as low as 10^-7 mol/L. It has been found that replacing mechanical stirring with ultrasound sonication would drastically change the particle morphology, from flower-like nanoparticles to well-dispersed smaller nanoparticles. Furthermore, when trace amounts of NaCl were added into the reagents, well-dispersed Ag nanoparticles formed even in vigorous stirring. These phenomena can be explained with the diffusion and reactant supply during nucleation and growth of Ag nanoparticles.
