Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by using sucrose in aqueous medium is reported. Current approach based on using sucrose sugar in silver nitrate reduction to silver nanoparticles. Appearing of dark brown color after addition of sucrose into silver nitrate solution is one of the most important characteristics for silver nanoparticles formation. The features reported in the literature, namely, a possible plasmon peak at about 420 nm, characterize absorption in the UV-visible region by these particles. This chemical route reported here offers a simple method for preparation of silver nanoparticles.
