Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted a great interest both in the area of scientific research and industrial applications. Silver (Ag) NPs have generated substantial interest not only in fundamental research and development, but also at the industrial scale due to their excellent properties. Hence, synthesis strategies that result in controlled AgNPs size, distribution, shape and stability are still an area of interest. Different methods have been employed in the production of nano-sized metallic silver particles with different morphologies and sizes.
