Silver nanoparticles were obtained in aqueous medium, at room temperature, by simple and low cost route. The synthesis involves the use of silver nitrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp), dextrose and water as the silver precursor, stabilizing agent, reducing agent and solvent respectively. In order to identify and analyze nanoparticles, UV – Vis spectroscopy, transitional electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. All data showed evidence for the formation of silver nanoparticles, with the size of 6–12 nm.
