I have synthesized the AgNPs using plant extract and annealed it at 300 degree Celsius. The pre annealed sample was also characterized by XRD
Now what differences could be seen?
XRD peaks will broad before annealing i.e. size of nanoparticles will increase after annealing
Dear colleague Vijay Kumar,
Have a nice time and good day.
The attached files contain XRD, SEM and TEM for amorphous, poly and crystalline materials showing the fundamental features or characterization.
Part 1
i wish this is useful and help you.

Dear Vijay Kumar,
It is well known that heat treatment enhances the cristallinity of materials. This means that you will have an increase in XRD peaks intensity. Also, you may have an increase of the cristallite size. This could be clearly visible from the narrowing of your XRD peaks.

Hello Vijay,
I studied nano/micro-sized powder calcinated at different temperatures. I could see a trend on XRD pattern that when the calcination temperature was increased while processing these powders, intensity of the characteristic peaks increased with it.
I also studied these powders under SEM, but couldn't concluded any noticeable difference. Different imaging technique should be considered while studying their differences in nano/microstructure and morphology.
For my best of knowledge, the stability of the NPs is the top most problematic area. Definitely differences will be there. Agree with Prof. Artur's view. Plz explain that first.
Hello Artur Braun Sir,
Thank you for your suggestion.
The characterized XRD of the post-annealed samples showed the peaks at same position but with increased intensity than the pre-annealed samples
Hello Niranjan Biswal Sir,
Thank you for your suggestion.
The intensity of the post-annealed sample was found to be higher than pre-annealed samples
What could be the exact reason sir?
Thank you dear Piyush Jibhakate.
I also get the same result as yours ie. the intensity was found to be increased.
but could you please explain to me about this interesting changes?
Thank you so much dear Abdelmounaim Chetoui.
My result is same as you explained. The intensity of the peaks increased and became narrower.
Could you please explain why the crystallite size increases by heat treatment?
I believe the increase in intensity of the characteristics peaks is because of the increasing crystallinlity of the material as a result of heat treatment.
Dear Dr. Vijay Kumar
Have a nice time and good day
Usually, increasing the annealing temperature leads to increasing the degree of crystallinity. So, In most cases, we find that the X-ray diffraction lines increases with rising the annealing temperature.
Thanks
