This ariticle reports a major improvement of the chemiluminescence of luminol by silver nanoparticles prepared by chemical reduction of AgNO 3 in a glycol medium using PVP as capping agent and under microwave irradiation. The luminescence emission is much stronger and faster. The Ag nanoparticles were characterized spectroscopically and by dynamic light scattering showing an average particle size of 36 nm. This article entitled “ Microwave preparation of Ag nanoparticles for chemiluminescence enhancement ” was contributed by Prof. Jorge G. Ibanez who was invited as a Visiting Lecturer (August 7, ∼August 14, 2010) of the Chemistry Research Promotion Center, Taiwan, R.O.C. For full text, please see pp. 837∼840 in this issue.
