Nanoparticles have different physical properties and more interesting than that of bulk material. Nanoparticles are highly preferred for applications in various technologies as a catalyst, the raw material of electronic components, and as an antimicrobial agent. The aim of the research is synthesize of silver nanorods.  The effect of a binary surfactant CTAB-HMT on the morphology and homogeneity were investigated using UV/Vis spectrophotometer, TEM, and XRD. Base on the UV/Vis spectra and TEM morphology, silver nanoparticles have two types, spherical and rods shapes.  The best product of nanorods was obtained  at the composition of CTAB 0.15 M : HMT 0.15 M. The structure of nanorods obtained were face center cubic (fcc).
