NANOWIRE PREPARATION METHODS, COMPOSITIONS, AND ARTICLES

摘要

Nanomaterial preparation methods, compositions, and articles are disclosed and claimed. Such methods can provide nanomaterials with improved morphologies relative to previous methods. Such materials are useful in electronic applications. For examle a silver nanowire is produced by the polyol process by using a solution comprising silver nitrate, ethylene glycol, PVP and especially a compound of a metal such as cobalt or rhodium from the lUPAC Group 9.
