“…Recently, the synthesis of silver nanowires via the solvothermal method has been reported, and the effects of sodium chloride concentration on the morphology of silver nanostructures have been investigated [40], However, the molecular weight, brand and concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which we observe to be very important in the growth process of silver nanowires, were not mentioned in the report.…”

“…The hydrothermal or solvothermal synthesis method is another important technology, a typical solution-based approach, which has been proven to be an effective and convenient process in preparing various inorganic materials with diverse morphologies and architectures, especially for low dimensional nanostructures [34][35][36][37][38][39]. The advantages of this method are that the reaction conditions are easily tunable, and that relatively large-scale, high-yield fabrication can easily be performed [40,41].…”

“…According to different research groups, the parameters of the commonly used centrifugation procedure can be changed from 20 min at 2000 rpm [48,50,61], 6000 rpm [42] or 8000 rpm [62] to 10 min at 16 000 rpm [63]. Most of the time the product is then dispersed in another solvent such as water [6,42,[62][63][64], ethanol [42,50] or methanol [65] to be washed a second time. Filtration has also been described to further purify the product, either by filtering through a polycarbonate membrane with 0.8 µm pore size [51,58] or a glass filter with mean pore size of 5-40 µm [66,67].…”

The class of materials combining high electrical or thermal conductivity, optical transparency and flexibility is crucial for the development of many future electronic and optoelectronic devices. Silver nanowire networks show very promising results and represent a viable alternative to the commonly used, scarce and brittle indium tin oxide. The science and technology research of such networks aims at better understanding the physical and chemical properties of this nanowire-based material while opening attractive new applications.

“…The Ag nanowires were prepared by a modified polyol process according to [24]. In a typical synthesis, 1.5 mg of NaCl and 0.88 g of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP, MW≈30000) were added into 20 ml ethylene glycol (EG) solution, then, the solution was added drop by drop into 20 ml of a magnetically stirred EG solution of AgNO 3 (0.34 g) for 10 min.…”

Core-shell structures often exhibit improved physical and chemical properties. Developing a relatively general, facile, and low temperature synthetic approach for core-shell structures with complex compositions is still a particularly challenging work. Here we report a general chemical conversion route to prepare high quality Ag@AgCl coaxial core-shell nanocables via the redox reaction between Ag nanowires and FeCl 3 in solution. The powder X-ray diffraction of the Ag@AgCl coaxial core-shell nanocables shows additional diffraction peaks corresponding to AgCl crystals apart from the signals from the Ag nanowire cores. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images of the Ag@AgCl coaxial core-shell nanocables reveal that the Ag nanowires are coated with AgCl nanoparticles. The effect of the molar ratio of Fe:Ag on the morphology and optical absorption of the Ag@AgCl coaxial core-shell nanocables is systematically investigated. The result shows that the optical absorption of Ag nanowires decreases gradually and that of AgCl nanoparticles improves gradually with the increase of the molar ratio of Fe:Ag. The formation process of the Ag@AgCl coaxial core-shell nanocables has been discussed in detail. The present chemical conversion approach is expected to be employed in a broad range of applications to fabricate innovative core-shell structures with different compositions and shapes for unique properties.
