Popis: In this research, Sn/Ag nanoparticle composite was produced by using chemical reduction method with the aids of sodium borohydride as reducing agent and sodium succinate as protective agent. The XRD, EDX, and TEM analyses showed that the Sn/Ag nanoparticle composite was formed with an average particle size of 4.37 + 0.44 nm. For the application, LSV analysis was done on Sn nanoparticle and Sn/Ag nanoparticle composite samples, and the analysis showed current produced from Sn/Ag nanoparticle composite (4.10 × 10-6 A) is higher than Sn nanoparticle (3.47 × 10-6 A) at the potential of -0.83V.
