Quasispherical nanoparticles and silver nanowires were synthesized via reduction of silver oxide by hydrogen in the water. The technique allows obtaining the nanoparticles in a wide size range from 10 nm to 150 nm and above. 10 nm silver nanoparticles were used as seeds. Experimental optical spectra of silver aqueous suspensions are presented and compared with the calculated ones in the frame of Mie theory for spherical nanoparticles.
