Manifestation of the Difference in Reactivity of Silver Clusters in Contrast to Its Ions and Nanoparticles: The Growth of Metal Tipped Te Nanowires
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reactivity of two different nanosystems of silver, namely nanoparticles and atomically precise clusters, toward 1D tellurium nanowires (NWs) was probed and compared with the reaction of silver ions. While the reaction of nanoparticles and ions led to silver telluride nanowires, a different reactivity was exhibited by clusters which resulted in silver islands at different positions on the Te NWs. These hybrid Ag nodule-decorated Te NWs are sensitive to temperature, and they transform to dumbbell-shaped silver-tipped Te NWs upon solution phase annealing. Differences in chemical reactivity of nanoparticles of two different size regimes with nanowires are demonstrated. Synthetic methods of this kind will be useful in creating complex nanostructures which are difficult to be made in the solution phase.

متن کاملA Simple and High Yield Solvothermal Synthesis of Uniform Silver Nanowires with Controllable Diameters
Silver nanowires were synthesized by solvothermal method through reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3) with ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). In order to prevent the agglomeration of Ag+ in the initial Ag seeds formation, sodium chloride (NaCl) was added into the solution to form AgCl colloids. By dissolving AgCl in the late stages, Ag+ ions were released into the so...
