Synthesis and Growth Mechanism of Silver Nanowires through Different Mediated Agents (CuCl 2 and NaCl)‎ Polyol Process

Abstract EN

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been synthesized by polyol process through different mediated agents (CuCl2 and NaCl).

The presence of cations and anions (Cu(II), Na+, and Cl−) has been shown to have a strong impact on the shape of silver nanostructures.

The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show uniform nanowires.

The UV-vis spectra show that plasmon peak indicated the formation of nanowires.

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern displayed that final product was highly crystallized and pure.

The growth mechanism of AgNWs was proposed.
