Abstract

Silver nanowires have attracted considerable attention in the past decade, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, which can lead to a wide variety of potential applications. In this work, silver nanowires have been fabricated using an alcohol ionic liquid by a one-step method in the absence of any extra capping agents. The method is based on the reduction of AgNO₃ by 1-(3-hydroxylpropyl)-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (C₃OHmimBF₄) in an aqueous solution at 180°C for 18?h. The products were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrograph (EDS), and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The experimental results indicate that both reaction temperature and special properties of C₃OHmimBF₄ play important roles in the formation of silver nanowires.
