To determine the zeta potential of silver nanoparticles using the electrophoretic mobility measured at different pH values ranging from 3 to 9, follow these steps:1. Prepare a series of silver nanoparticle suspensions with varying pH values 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 . You can adjust the pH using dilute acid or base solutions.2. Measure the electrophoretic mobility of the silver nanoparticles in each suspension using an electrophoretic light scattering ELS instrument, also known as a zeta potential analyzer. This instrument measures the velocity of the nanoparticles under an applied electric field, which is related to their electrophoretic mobility.3. Record the electrophoretic mobility values for each pH value.4. Calculate the zeta potential using the Henry equation: = * / where is the dynamic viscosity of the medium usually water , is the dielectric constant of the medium, and is the electrophoretic mobility.5. Plot the zeta potential values against the corresponding pH values to observe the relationship between zeta potential and pH for the silver nanoparticles.6. Analyze the results to determine the isoelectric point IEP , which is the pH value at which the zeta potential is zero. This is the point where the nanoparticles are least stable and most likely to aggregate.7. Use the zeta potential values to assess the stability of the silver nanoparticles at different pH values. In general, a zeta potential value greater than +30 mV or less than -30 mV indicates good stability, while values between -30 mV and +30 mV suggest a higher likelihood of aggregation.By following these steps, you can determine the zeta potential of silver nanoparticles at different pH values and assess their stability under various conditions.
