Parametric Study of the Galvanic Reaction Parameters on the Synthesis of 1-Dimensional Cu-Ag Nanostructures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) nanowires have been widely employed as conductive fillers in flexible electronic devices due to their high aspect ratios leading to the formation of conductive networks in a polymeric substrate. This study combined Cu and Ag as a 1-dimensional nanostructures through galvanic replacement with a core-shell configuration. The effects of the galvanic replacement factors on the Cu-Ag core-shell nanostructures morphology was studied by varying the reaction time, temperature, and Ag concentration. SEM images show a more extensive Cu dealloying and Kirkendall voiding with longer reaction times, resulting in the Cu core dissolution. Homogenous nucleation of Ag occurs at higher reaction temperatures and Ag concentrations, producing separate Ag particles.
