Split‐and‐mix libraries are an excellent tool for the identification of peptides that induce the formation of Ag nanoparticles in the presence of either light or sodium ascorbate to reduce Ag + ions. Structurally diverse peptides were detected in colorimetric on‐bead screenings that generate Ag nanoparticles of different sizes, as confirmed by SEM and X‐ray powder diffraction studies.
