A SnO₂ shell for high environmental stability of Ag nanowires applied for thermal management.

ABSTRACT: Since silver nanowires (AgNWs) show high infrared reflectance many studies present their applicability as thermal management products for various wearable textiles. However, their use for practical purposes is only partially evaluated, without focusing on improving their low atmospheric and liquid stability. This report describes a new approach for the topic and proposes a facile method of Ag nanowire passivation with a SnO₂ layer for high environmental stability and retention of high infrared reflectance. The one-step passivation process of AgNWs was carried out in the presence of sodium stannate in an aqueous solution at 100 °C, and resulted in the formation of core/shell Ag/SnO₂ nanowires. This study presents the morphological, chemical, and structural properties o
