Fabrizio Guzzetta , my purpose is encapsulated ag+ in boric acid crystalization then i can protect AgNps and i still has boron in my system because boron is micronutrient for plant . I want apply this in agriculture
Hydrazine hydrate N2H4.H2O is normally utilized in 5 or 10% solution - this is relatively mild. The big advantage of hydrazine reduction is that the products are N2 and H2O. Borohydride reduction always leads to intractable B in the final metal and this can, for example, act as a catalyst poison. Be aware that in water or supported oxide materials (wherever oxygen/oxide is present) that the surface will not be Ag, It'l be Ag2O where the silver is fully oxidized (but easily reduced in situ).
