Abstract
Long silver nanowires (AgNWs) with mean length of 49.4µm were synthesized by a rapid one-step polyol method within only 30min. The relationship between Cu2+ and the size of AgNWs had been studied. AgNWs were longer at higher concentration of Cu2+ because the presence of Cu+ (reduced from Cu2+) could increase the absorption rate of silver atoms (Ag0). By simply controlling the concentration of Cu2+ in reaction process, the diameter of AgNWs ranging from 31nm to 57nm could also be adjusted. This rapid method improved the production efficiency of long AgNWs and could be applied to high performance transparent electrodes.
