One of the methods that has gained prominence in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles is the sol-gel process, due to its versatility in producing nanoparticles in various forms such as complex, metal oxides, inorganic nanocomponents and chalcogenides . This process involves preparation of gellike solution by mixing the silver precursor (such as silver nitrate) with a metal complex (containing elements like calcium, titanium or strontium), this mixture is added to solvents such as alcohol or water . The solution obtained as a result of mixing, undergoes a chemical reaction that often involves controlled heating which promotes nucleation and growth of AgNPs. Reaction conditions such as temperature and solvent type often plays a crucial role in determining the size and shape of AgNPs . The AgNPs synthesized by depositing them within the thin films of metal oxides, such as TiO2, SiO2, ZrO2. These films are often heated at high temperature (e.g., The heating temperature for SiO2 is 600°C and for TiO2 the heating temperature is 500°C). The average nanoparticle size obtained is 10 nm [63]. AgNPs can be synthesized using hydrolytic sol-gel process at 400°C,600°C and 800°C, where the average particle size is 20nm and the silver nanoparticles are crystalline in shape . The sol-gel technique is also performed at low temperatures (100°C) to produce silverdoped hydroxyapatite nanorods with an average diameter of 25 nm hexagonal cross sectional .
