Bourlinos Philomela Komninou Michael Karakassides Dimitrios Niarchos Received 24 March 2009 Accepted 20 July 2009 Published online 17 September 2009 to the authors 2009 Abstract Spherically shaped silver nanoparticles embedded in a carbon matrix were synthesized by thermal decomposition of a Ag I acetylenedicarboxylic acid salt. The silver nanoparticles which are formed either by pyrolysis at 300 C in an autoclave or thermolysis in xylene suspension at reflux temperature are acting catalytically for the formation of graphite layers. Both reactions proceed through in situ reduction of the silver cations and polymerization of the central acetylene triple bonds and the exact temperature of the reaction can be monitored through DTA analysis. Interestingly the thermal decomposition of this silver salt in xylene partly leads to a minor fraction of quasicrystalline silver as established by HR-TEM analysis. The graphitic layers covering the silver nanoparticles are clearly seen in HR-TEM images and furthermore established by the presence of sp2 carbon at the Raman spectrum of both samples.
