Journal ArticleDOI
Polyol Synthesis of Uniform Silver Nanowires: A Plausible Growth Mechanism and the Supporting Evidence
TL;DR: Sun et al. as mentioned in this paper demonstrated an approach based on the polyol process for the large-scale synthesis of silver nanowires with uniform diameters, which can be used to synthesize 30−60 nm in diameter and 1−50 μm in length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniform silver nanowires synthesis by reducing AgNO3 with ethylene glycol in the presence of seeds and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)
TL;DR: A solution-phase approach has been demonstrated for the large-scale synthesis of silver nanowires with diameters in the range of 30−40 nm, and lengths up to ∼50 μm as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
CuO Nanowires Can Be Synthesized by Heating Copper Substrates in Air
TL;DR: In this article, a vapor phase approach to the facial synthesis of cupric oxide (CuO) nanowires supported on the surfaces of various copper substrates that include grids, foils, and wires was described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyol Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Use of Chloride and Oxygen to Promote the Formation of Single-Crystal, Truncated Cubes and Tetrahedrons
TL;DR: In this paper, the defects inherent in twinned nuclei of silver led to their selective etching and dissolution by chloride and oxygen (from air), leaving only the single crystalline ones to grow into nanoscale cubes and tetrahedrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethylene glycol-mediated synthesis of metal oxide nanowires
TL;DR: A simple and convenient method has been demonstrated for large-scale synthesis of metal oxide nanowires with diameters around 50 nm and lengths up to 30 µm as mentioned in this paper, which can be readily collected as precipitates after the reaction solutions had been cooled down to room temperature.
