The effect of different additives on the AgNPs formation process was explored in this study. AgNPs were synthesized in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate-containing surfactants by photoreduction of silver ions. The concentration dependency of AgNPs formation suggested that stability was induced by the equilibrium of AgNPs adsorbed by surfactants with higher carbon chain molecules such as SDS and AOT. These results open up a new window both for structural control and the development process. It also indicated that different additives had an impact on the morphology of NPs. The hydrocarbon chain influenced the growth process and demonstrated that 10 carbon atoms such as AOT, SDS. Fluorescence results confirmed that after laser irradiation, hemi-micelle formation after the development of AgNPs.
