A simple two-step seed-mediated synthesis of monodisperse quasi-spherical silver
nanoparticles by citrate and ascorbic acid reduction is presented. Control over
monodispersity is achieved by a variety of compounds with hydroxyl groups such as
glycerol, ethylene glycol, agarose, or sucrose. The latter can also be used as a matrix for
storage.
