I am working on nano-particle preparation of silver sulfide. I have a silver particle around 10-micron meter. I am continuously triturating in with the help of the ball mill but unfortunately, I could not prepare the particle at 20 nm range. I have prepared at the level of 400 nm silver sulfide nanoparticle with the help of trituration. What should I do..
Despite the widespread use of dispersion methods, they cannot be used to produce nanoparticles with a diameter of 1-100 nm. Such dispersed systems can be obtained by condensation method. But you can try to apply the silver salts of carboxylic acid when crushing.
I think you can use ultrasonic method to get on nanoparticle of silver salts .
You should consider bottom up approach, like Hydrothermal synthesis. You can get the controllable as well as uniform nanoparticle size. As a matter of fact you can even achieve size range of 2-10 nm i.e. Quantum dots.

Hope this helps. All the best.
