Medical Applications

Silver nanoparticles are widely incorporated into wound dressings and are used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in medical applications and in consumer goods.

Conductive Applications

Silver nanoparticles are widely utilized in the electronics industries, in conductive inks and integrated into composites to enhance thermal and electrical conductivity.

Plasmonics

Silver nanoparticles have unique optical properties because they support surface plasmons. Applications of plasmonic silver nanoparticles include biomedical labels, sensors, and detectors. It is also the basis for analysis techniques such as Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and Surface Enhanced Fluorescent Spectroscopy.

Photovoltaics

There is increasing interest in utilizing the large scattering and absorption cross sections of plasmonic silver nanoparticles for solar applications.
