Abstract: Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are prepared using two different techniques namely hydrothermal and laser ablation methods. The purpose of this study is to find a more suitable method to prepare Ag NPs through comparison that can give stable and size-controlled silver nanoparticles. Techniques used for observations are X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Comparison of results exhibited that hydrothermal process is a more suitable method to prepare silver nanoparticles with smaller uniform size and better yield as compared to laser ablation method. Also, at low temperature, NPs obtained using hydrothermal process provide better control on morphology, high purity and narrow size distribution.
