“…Consequently the control of the plasmon interaction with electronic states of the emitters will be limited. The range of reports where the influence of plasmon excitations in metallic nanowires on the optical properties of nearby placed emitters is rather broad [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35], we shall concentrate here on three types of structures: where emitters are mixed together with the nanowires [29,32] or placed above them [30,31], where conjugation is used to specifically attach emitters to silver nanowires, and where the properties of single emitters are investigated [34,36,37]. This subjective overview will present a variety of structures that can be fabricated and the spectrum of effects that emerge in such systems and that can be studied using fluorescence spectroscopy and spectroscopy.…”

The purpose of this review is to introduce and present the concept of metallic nanowires as building-blocks of plasmonically active structures. In addition to concise description of both the basic physical properties associated with the electron oscillations as well as energy propagation in metallic nanostructures, and methods of fabrication of metallic nanowires, we will demonstrate several key ideas that involve interactions between plasmon excitations and electronic states in surrounding molecules or other emitters. Particular emphasis will be placed on the effects that involve not only plasmonic enhancement or quenching of fluorescence, but also propagation of energy on lengths that exceed the wavelength of light.

“…In hard template methods, AgNWs are produced using cylindrical nanoporous structures such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [ 359 ]. On the other hand, in soft template methods, capping agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or cetyltrimethylammonium (CTAB) are used to direct the growth of initially formed silver seeds to AgNWs [ 349 ]. Hard template methods have several disadvantages compared to soft template ones.…”

The significance of silver nanostructures has been growing considerably, thanks to their ubiquitous presence in numerous applications, including but not limited to renewable energy, electronics, biosensors, wastewater treatment, medicine, and clinical equipment. The properties of silver nanostructures, such as size, size distribution, and morphology, are strongly dependent on synthesis process conditions such as the process type, equipment type, reagent type, precursor concentration, temperature, process duration, and pH. Physical and chemical methods have been among the most common methods to synthesize silver nanostructures; however, they possess substantial disadvantages and short-comings, especially compared to green synthesis methods. On the contrary, the number of green synthesis techniques has been increasing during the last decade and they have emerged as alternative routes towards facile and effective synthesis of silver nanostructures with different morphologies. In this review, we have initially outlined the most common and popular chemical and physical methodologies and reviewed their advantages and disadvantages. Green synthesis methodologies are then discussed in detail and their advantages over chemical and physical methods have been noted. Recent studies are then reviewed in detail and the effects of essential reaction parameters, such as temperature, pH, precursor, and reagent concentration, on silver nanostructure size and morphology are discussed. Also, green synthesis techniques used for the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) silver nanostructures have been reviewed, and the potential of alternative green reagents for their synthesis has been discussed. Furthermore, current challenges regarding the green synthesis of 1D silver nanostructures and future direction are outlined. To sum up, we aim to show the real potential of green nanotechnology towards the synthesis of silver nanostructures with various morphologies (especially 1D ones) and the possibility of altering current techniques towards more environmentally friendly, more energy-efficient, less hazardous, simpler, and cheaper procedures.

“…The mechanism of the hydrothermal method is similar to the aforementioned polyol method for AgNWs synthesis. However, the AgNWs by means of polyol method usually have diameters in the order of 50–200 nm and lengths in the order of 30–80 µm [61]. To further improve the aspect ratio of AgNWs, several studies have reported using the solvothermal method to prepare ultralong AgNWs.…”

“…To further improve the aspect ratio of AgNWs, several studies have reported using the solvothermal method to prepare ultralong AgNWs. Cwik et al [61], for example, reported on the synthesis of ultralong AgNWs by the hydrothermal method using H 2 O 2 and PVP as the reducer and stabilizing agent, respectively. Distribution analysis showed that the yielded AgNWs have a mean diameter of 100 nm and length of 160 µm, reaching the maximum length of 800 µm (Figure 5).…”

Metallic nanowires (NWs) have attracted great attention in the frontiers of nanomaterial science due to their extraordinary properties, such as high thermal and electrical conductivity, high aspect ratio, good mechanical flexibility, and excellent optical transparency. The metallic NWs and their nanocomposites, as a promising alternative for conventional building materials, have been extensively studied recently, but review works on these novel versatile nanostructures and their various uses in the building and construction industry are still lacking. We present a comprehensive review on current state-of-the-art research and progress regarding multifunctional metallic NWs and their specific building applications, including thermal energy storage (TES), thermal transport, electrochromic windows (ECW), as well as photovoltaic (PV) cells. The nanosynthesis techniques and nanocharacterization of silver nanowires (AgNWs) and copper nanowires (CuNWs) are overviewed and compared with each other. In addition, the fundamentals of different NWs for advanced building applications are introduced. Further discussion is presented on the improved performance of base materials by using these nanostructures, highlighting the key factors exhibiting their superior performance. Finally, the key benefits and limitations of metallic NWs for new generation building materials are obtained.
