Abstract The data have been systematized and generalized on the specific synthesis of elemental silver nano-sized crystals (Ag-NC) having the forms of various geometric bodies (pseudo spherical, prismatic, cubic, trigonal-pyramidal, etc.), obtained by various chemical, physicochemical and biological methods. It has been noted, that the form of the synthesized Ag-NC can be controlled by changing the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters at each key stage of the synthesis (nucleation, seeding, and growth). Moreover, the size range of spherical and cubic silver nanocrystals can be influenced by either physical, chemical or biological methods during the synthesis, but such forms as nanorods, nanowires and nanobars can only be synthesized by chemical or physical methods at the present time. The review covers articles comprehensively mainly published in the last 20 years.

元素银纳米级晶体：各种几何形式及其特定的生长参数

摘要 对具有各种几何体形式（伪球形、棱柱形、立方体、三角锥体等）的元素银纳米晶体 (Ag-NC) 的特定合成进行了系统化和概括，这些数据通过各种方法获得。化学、物理化学和生物方法。已经注意到，合成的 Ag-NC 的形式可以通过改变合成的每个关键阶段（成核、晶种和生长）的热力学和动力学参数来控制。此外，球形和立方体银纳米晶体的尺寸范围在合成过程中会受到物理、化学或生物方法的影响，但目前只能通过化学或物理方法合成纳米棒、纳米线和纳米棒等形式。
