Abstract EN

A novel growth process of silver nanowires was revealed by tracing the morphology evolution of Ag nanostructures fabricated by an improved polyol process.

A mixture of Ag nanowires and nanoparticles was obtained with the usage of PVP-K25 (MW = 38,000).

The products sampled at different reaction time were studied in detail using UV-visible absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

An interesting phenomenon unknown in the past was observed where Ag nanoparticles undergo an important dissolution-recrystallization process and Ag nanowires are formed at the expense of the preformed Ag nanoparticles.

A plausible novel growth mechanism for the silver nanowires was proposed.
