The thermal decomposition processes of silver behenate have been studied by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), combined thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis–mass spectrometry (TG-DTA-MS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV–vis spectroscopy. The TG-DTA and the higher temperature IR and XRD measurements indicated that complicated structural changes took place while heating silver behenate, but there were two distinct thermal transitions. During the first transition at 138 °C, the alkyl chains of silver behenate were transformed from an ordered into a disordered state. During the second transition at about 231 °C, a structural change took place for silver behenate, which was the decomposition of silver behenate. The major products of the thermal decomposition of silver behenate were metallic silver and behenic acid. Upon heating up to 500 °C, the final product of the thermal decomposition was metallic silver. The combined TG-MS analysis showed that the gas products of the thermal decomposition of silver behenate were carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen, acetylene and some small molecule alkenes. TEM and UV–vis spectroscopy were used to investigate the process of the formation and growth of metallic silver nanoparticles.
