In the polyol synthesis, ethylene glycol acts as both the solvent and the reducing agent.  The source of Ag is from AgNO_3 that is dissolved in ethylene glycol.  Structure-directing agents, typically polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), are added to prevent aggregation of nanocrystals and direct their shape.  The typical reaction temperature is 150 \degree C, $150^{\circ} C$,  although it can vary for different nanocrystal shapes. shapes with different protocols.  \subsection{Goal and Objectives}
