Silver nanoplates are a special morphology of silver, as a result of defects in the crystal
structure, which are characterized by a triangular or hexagonal shape and an extremely
thin thickness. The chemical conversion most often takes place with the addition of
H2O2. During the thesis, I followed the reaction through absorbance and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), based on which I described the dependence of the
conversion rate and the morphology of the nanoplates depending on the added amount
of hydrogen peroxide and wrote a computer model of the used reactor. Reaction with
AgNPs and hydrogen peroxide in a plug flow reactor with a membrane is localized on
the wall of the membrane. The only plasmonic color that can be observed is blue before
it decolors as it moves to the IR spectre.
