Understanding the formation mechanisms of nanoparticles is essential for the synthesis of nanomaterials with controlled properties. In solution synthesis, capping agents are used to mediate this process and control the final size and shape of the particles. In this work, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the capping agent, is studied through molecular dynamics simulations. Nucleation of clusters of atoms and subsequent growth to form nanoparticles are analyzed,
