Biogenic silver nanowires for hybrid silver functionalized benzothiazolilthiomethanol as a novel organic–inorganic nanohybrid

Abstract

This article involves the synthesis of a new organic compound, benzothiazolilthiomethanol (BTTM) which derived from the reaction of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole with formaldehyde in ethanol. The resulting compound (BTTM) was diagnosed using the following techniques: FTIR, elemental analysis and 1H NMR. The research also included the preparation of silver nanowires depending on using green method. To enhance the idea even further, both as-prepared materials were spatially used to prepare new nanocomposite of the type organic–inorganic nanohybrid where silver was used to form the core while the organic matter was the shell. The resulting organic–inorganic nanohybrid was characterized using FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM and TEM. The results of characterization techniques prove that a stable and sufficient amount of BTTM can be attached to the metal surface
