Abstract

The focus of this present work is concerned with a novel and facile method for obtaining colored Ag nanoparticle films using a sulfide as a coloring agent. The Ag nanoparticle films change their colors depending on the dipping time in a solution of a sulfide and the dipping time is at most on the second time scale. The color of the films, initially sliver (shiny white), changes to shiny yellow, red, and blue. Our scanning electron microscopy studies indicate that the color of the Ag nanoparticle films depend on the particle size of the Ag nanoparticle films.
