Large scale for small size: We report a large‐scale synthetic method to produce uniform and ultra‐small‐sized Ag nanoparticles (see picture) with good productivity. This method is simple and efficient. It produces Ag nanoparticles within 20 min by heating a reaction mixture containing only three chemicals. The size of the nanoparticles is controlled by varying the heating rate.
