Its possible the author of that linked article is unaware of some simple
and inexpensive ways to make nanoparticles of silver
"To make a true colloid is a complicated, complex, and costly process"
It appears you can brew some tea and mix it with the silver we might
make electrolytically and presto!
"The versatile one-pot green synthesis of a highly concentrated and
stable colloidal dispersion of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was carried
out using the self-assembled tannic acid without using any other
hazardous chemicals. Tannic acid (Plant-based polyphenol) was used as a
reducing and stabilizing agent for silver nitrate in a mild alkaline
condition. The synthesized Ag NPs were characterized for their
concentration, capping, size distribution, and shape. The experimental
results confirmed the successful synthesis of nearly spherical and
highly concentrated (2281 ppm) Ag NPs, capped with poly-tannic acid"

Well, as I have argued on this Forum several times, only colloidal
silver NPs kill pathogens efficiently. NOT ionic silver.
Please read the article below to put the matter to rest for all time.
