Your question is not very specific. pH plays an important role in the formation of nanoparticles. In general, pH of 8-10 is of much importance in the synthesis of many nanoparticles. First of all, you should optimize the suitable pH for the synthesis of your nanoparticles then you will be able to tune the size of nanoparticles.
Your question is not specific.I believe that there is no general rule in nanotechnology . Each material, each technique and each method of synthesis has its own rule. you should try and try to discover which one is the suitable one for your aims. There is some thing else, please notice that the isoelectric point of the nanoparticles is an important issue for the synthesis and there are many factors related with this point like ions concentrations, pH and temperature. so you should study all the conditions involved in the synthesis of you particles to choose the best.
