The silver nanoparticles, which are solid form and I want to study the XRD pattern of this nanoparticles by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), so I asked which solvent are used for dissolve of silver nanoparticles.

If you dissolve the 'Ag nanoparticles' in a liquid (such as nitric acid) then you'll have ions (Ag+) and not particles. Do you mean 'dispersion'?
If your material is in powder form then there are no free, independent, discrete particles < 100 nm in the system. As Rudy Rucker states: ' 'I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end' (August 2002)

Also, please tell us how you will study the 'XRD pattern of this nanoparticles by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)'.
In nano your most important tests (and should be before NMR) are specific surface area (SSA) and surface chemistry (ESCA/XPS).

Dear Kiran Singh I think that Alan F Rawle is absolutely right when he points out that you cannot "dissolve" silver nanoparticles but only disperse them. This problem come up on RG quite often. Please see e.g. this closely related RG thread entitled "How to dissolve Magnetite Nanoparticles?":

In the answers it is clearly stated that dissolving nanoparticles means destroying them!
Your question is not clear to me anyway. XRD and NMR are two completely different techniques. How could you do XRD on a solution, and what do you expect to see in the NMR of Ag+ ions except for the solvent?
