“…Zhou et al reported a novel ultraviolet irradiation photoreduction technique to prepare single-crystal Ag nanorods and dendritic nanostructures at room temperature using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) as a protecting agent [92]. Zou et al developed a new photochemical seed-mediated method to synthesise silver nanostructures with 253.7 nm UV light in the presence of PVP [93]. It demonstrated that silver dendrites were obtained only at the place exposed to UV irradiation.…”

This article reviews recent advances in the shape-controlled synthesis routes of hierarchical Ag dendritic nanostructures. Various fabricated techniques, with or without templates or surfactants, electrochemical method and sonochemical, microwave or photochemical assisted synthesis method, can be amazingly effective in the dendritic Ag nanostructures synthesis, if synthetic parameters are carefully selected. The involved synthesis mechanism are discussed in order to control the limited factors along the fabricated progress efficiently and then to find new synthetic means. Also, the blemish of the above synthesis routes that hinders the practical application is pointed out to inspire the future research.

“…A common method for generating multicomponent metallic nanowires and nanorods is template-directed synthesis that involves either chemical or electrochemical depositions (27). Template deposition yields a monodisperse suspension of individual particles due to the uniformity and density of the template pores.…”

Multifunctional Nanorods for Biomedical Applications

2007

Multifunctional nanorods have shown significant potential in a wide range of biomedical applications. Nanorods can be synthesized by a top down or bottom-up approach. The bottom-up approach commonly utilizes a template deposition methodology. A variety of metal segments can easily be incorporated into the nanorods. This permits high degrees of chemical and dimensional control. High aspect-ratio nanorods have a large surface area for functionalization. By varying the metal segments in the nanorods, spatial control over the binding of functional biomolecules that correspond with the unique surface chemistry of the metal segment can be achieved. Functionalized multicomponent nanorods are utilized in applications ranging from multiplexing, protein sensing, glucose sensing, imaging, biomolecule-associated nanocircuits, gene delivery and vaccinations.

“…To realize the above applications, it is very important to develop a simple method for producing highly crystalline silver nanowires (AgNWs). Several approaches such as polyol process (Sun et al 2002a), wet chemical synthesis (Kim et al 2007), hydrothermal (Xu et al 2006), template-guided synthesis (Sun et al 2005), ultraviolet irradiation photoreduction (Zou et al 2004), and electrochemical methods (Mazur et al 2004) were used for the synthesis of AgNWs by previous researchers.

Silver nanowires have been synthesized by the polyol process with ethylene glycol as a reducing agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone as a stabilizer, using microwave technique. Crystallographic, topographic, and morphological characterizations of the synthesized nanostructures have been studied via powder X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) and Transmission Electron Microscope, respectively. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Thermogravometric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been carried out for the detailed quantitative and qualitative analyses. Optical characterizations of the synthesized silver nanowires have been concluded via energy-resolved and time-resolved photoluminescence and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic studies, respectively. Spectroscopic studies confirm the formation of good-quality silver nanowires. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation and Raman spectra further show that the PVP molecules are adsorbed on the surface of Ag nanowires through Ag: O coordination. A possible growth mechanism of the Ag nanowires has been proposed. It is implied that the PVP molecules are used as both a protecting agent and a structure-directing agent for the growth of Ag nanowires. These studies confirm the formation of high-quality silver nanowires. Topographic and morphological studies confirm that average grain size of silver nanowires is in the nanometer range.
