## 1 Introduction  
The potential applications and synthesis procedures of nanoscale materials were extensively investigated [1; 2; 3]. Humans began using metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in ancient times, though were not fully aware of their nature. The earliest examples of NPs in a practical application date back to Mesopotamian and Egyptian cultures when they used metals in the fabrication of glass. Through history, this technique was used and improved, mainly for decorative purposes, allowing glass staining in a variety of colors due to the plasmonic properties of the NPs [4]. While gold nanoparticles were extensively utilized for several decades, the application of silver nanomaterials with similar potential is considerably restricted due to certain seemingly unfavorable characteristics, such as their susceptibility to be quickly oxidized in the presence of halide ions [5]. Silver (Ag) is one of the most attractive metals for the synthesis of nanoparticles because of the wide range of applications derived from its properties. Attributes such as its malleability, conductivity, ductility, resilience, rareness, and antimicrobial propertiesmade it valuable and convenient for several everyday life purposes through ancient and modern times. The most common applications of Ag include optoelectronics [6], water disinfection [7], diagnostics [8], anti-cancer therapeutics [9], biomedical technologies [10], drug-gene delivery [11], energy science [12], and clinical anti-bacterial purposes, etc. [13; 14]. The increasing list of practical uses found for Ag and its NPs present it as highly valuable for current and future technologies and applications. In recent years, there was significant attention focused on enhancing the controlled synthesis methods for triangular silver nanoplates (TSNPs), primarily due to the widespread utilization of these nanoplates in diverse fields, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection and the production of antifungal nanocomposites [15]. Due to their shape, sharp edges, and vertices, TSNPs are proven to exhibit distinctive optical and antibacterial properties [16; 17]. In comparison to other nanoparticles, TSNPs garnered significant interest due to their ability to tune SPR bands over a wide range by controlling the aspect ratio of the particles [18]. Moreover, the enhanced antimicrobial activity of TSNPs in comparison to spherical nanoparticles is proven to be a consequence of their unique morphology, allowing easier attachment and penetration into the cell membrane and provoking bacterial death [19]. After bacterial membrane damage, the mechanism proposed for antimicrobial action is connected to the formation of reactive oxygen (ROS) and free radical species in high levels inside of the bacteria, inducing their death [20]. Additionally, colloidal stability of NP was proven to play a significant role in antimicrobial action. Controlled growth and ambient media used are critical points for TSNP antimicrobial activity [21]. Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) amalgamated materials are currently used in a range of different applications, including improving electrical and thermal conductivity, water treatment, antimicrobial medical materials, and sensing materials for diagnosis, among others [22]. In the specific case of TSNPs, there are only a limited number of reports of their incorporation into other materials for different applications, and the exploration of the antimicrobial activity of said materials is even more limited. Dispersion of triangular silver nanoprisms in an aqueous acrylamide matrix was reported. The dispersion showed highly tuneable optical properties, and was used as a carrier liquid for a fluorescent dye in the fabrication process of poly(acrylamide) microparticles [23]. Additionally, dispersion of triangular silver microplates in a polyvinylidene fluoride matrix for the improvement of electrical conductivity was reported by [24]. [PERSON] et al.
