Rapid Ag Nanofiber Formation Via Pt Nanoparticle-Assisted H₂-Free Reduction of Ag⁺-Containing Polymers.

ABSTRACT: One-dimensional Ag nanostructure-based networks have garnered significant attention as next-generation transparent conductive materials. Ag nanofibers (NFs) with high aspect ratios decrease the number density required for percolation; hence, they form qualitatively superior transparent conductive films. This study reports a novel method for rapidly fabricating Ag NFs via Pt nanoparticle-assisted H₂-free reduction of solid-state AgNO₃. Our results first indicated that polymers can be a source of hydrogen gas in the presence of Pt nanoparticles; Ag NFs with aspect ratios above 10⁵ were obtained herein by heating AgNO₃-containing polymer NFs in a short period of time and in an open-air environment. Our method not only successfully reduced the amount
