Controlled hydrothermal synthesis of Ag nanowires and their antimicrobial properties

First-principles study of mercaptoundecanoic acid molecule adsorption and gas molecule penetration onto silver surface: an insight for corrosion protection

“…Silver nanowire (NW) networks have attracted signicant research attention in numerous applications including transparent exible conductors, strain sensors, light emitting diodes (LEDs), liquids crystal displays (LCD), self-healing electronic devices and solar cells. [1][2][3][4][5] This is due to their superior material properties such as high mechanical exibility and high electrical conductivity combined with reasonable transparency. 6,7 In particular, Ag NW networks show a great potentiality of promising transparent electrodes as an alternative to the lms of metal oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO).…”

Quantitative Analysis of Acetone in Transformer Oil Based on ZnO NPs@Ag NWs SERS Substrates Combined with a Stoichiometric Model

“…Colloidal suspensions of precious metals such as Au and Ag nanoparticles are commonly used as active SERS substrates due to their strong localized surface plasmon resonance in the visible region, where strong electromagnetic fields can be generated, which is known as the electromagnetic enhancement (EM) [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are unique plasmonic nanomaterials that support propagating surface plasmon excitations (SPPs) because the sharp edges or branches of silver metal nanostructures can aggregate charges and exhibit excellent SERS properties [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. In addition, semiconductor–metal bonding has also been used to achieve highly sensitive SERS substrates, owing mainly to the charge transfer between the substrates and the probe molecule through the conduction band of the semiconductor, which is a chemical enhancement (CM) [ 48 , 49 ].…”
