Abstract:Silver nanowires synthesized by the most commonly used polyol method are typically accompanied by nanoparticles and nanorods, which have a negative impact on the performance of silver nanowire-based devices. Herein, we report a reproducible and easy method for preparing silver nanowires with yields exceeding 70% by optimizing the heterogeneous nucleation of silver from silver chloride precursors and regulating the reduction in ethylene glycol. The yield of silver nanowires depended on the morphology and concen… Show more
