The influence of algae life cycle on AgNPs formation and effect of different storage conditions on AgNPs long-term stability were investigated. The age of algae influenced the rate of AgNPs synthesis and amount of AgNPs in solution. The age of algae did not influence the AgNPs long-term stability. UV–vis and TEM observation revealed that long-term stability of AgNPs can be influenced by storage temperatures, and low temperature positively influences the AgNPs stability. AgNPs stored at dark and at temperature of ~5 °C showed the best long-term stability regardless of the culture age. Such AgNPs remained spherical, fine（5-20 nm） and stable（no agglomeration） even after 6 months.展开更多
