Protective Agent Free Eco-Synthesis of Silver Nanowire via Needle-Shaped Silver Acetate Precursor

Article Preview

Abstract:

We developed new synthetic method of silver nanowire by reducing silver acetate precursor. Silver acetate could be easily synthesized by ultrasound irradiation to the mixture of non-toxic starting materials, only ethanol and silver (I) oxide. All of reaction was performed in relatively low temperature and it does not need any protective agents. The precursors had high aspect ratio needle-shaped morphology. They decomposed easily by heating up to 300 °C and then produce only silver without any residues. This process is expected to be new synthetic method of silver nanowire that doesn’t require any protective agents and emit much waste.
