This article is published with open access at Abstract Silver colloidal nanorings have been synthesized by reducing silver ions with NaBH4 in trisodium citrate buffers. pH increase by addition of NaOH was used to speed up reduction reaction. The UV-vis absorption spectra of resulting silver nanorings showed two peaks accounting for transverse and longitudinal surface plasmon resonance at 400 nm and between 600 and 700 nm respectively. The shapes of these silver nanoparticles nanorings depended on AgNO3 NaBH4 ratio pH and reaction temperature. Particles were analysed by transmission electron microscopy scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. A reaction pathway is proposed to explain silver nanoring formation. Keywords Nanorings Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis Introduction Nanoscale materials and structures for high value applications is an emerging area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanomaterials usually ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers nm may provide solutions to technological and environmental challenges in the areas of solar energy conversion catalysis medicine and water treatment 1 .
