A facile and novel way was reported for the preparation of nearly monodisperse silver nanoparticles with controlled hydrophilic or hydrophobic surface, using trioctylphosphine as the surfactant and stabilizer. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The monodisperse silver nanoparticles showed a strong surface plasmon resonance band at 402 nm from the UV-vis spectrum.
