Rapid and Facile Synthesis of High-Performance Silver Nanowires by A Halide-Mediated, Modified Polyol Method for Transparent Conductive Films.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanowires are receiving increasing attention as a kind of prospective transparent and conductive material. Here, we successfully synthesized high-performance silver nanowires with a significantly decreased reaction time by a modified polyol method. The synthesis process involved the addition of halides, including NaCl and NaBr, to control the release rate of Ag+ ions, as Cl- and Br- ions react with Ag+ ions to form AgCl and AgBr with different solubilities. As a result, Ag+ ions could be slowly released by graded dissolution, and the formation of silver nanowires was promoted. The results showed that the concentration of the added halides played an important role in the morphology of the final product. High-quality silver nanowires with an average diameter of 70 nm and average lengt
