Silver nanowires have been synthesized by a polyol process. A detailed parametric study determining the relationship between final morphology of the products and,temperature, injection rate, molar ratio of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) to silver nitrate, sodium chloride amount, and stirring rate is presented. The as-synthesized silver nanowires are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The dependency of nano-wire morphology and aspect ratio on synthesis parameters is shown via SEM images. Furthermore, the nanowire diameter is found to decrease with stirring rate, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) to silver nitrate molar ratio, and temperature and to increase with injection rate. The lack of sodium chloride and its presence in excess amounts resulted in the formation of particles with different sizes in addition to nanowires. In addition, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) to silver nitrate molar ratio is found, to affect the morphology of the resulting nanostructure, leading to formation of particles at high and low ends. The results reported in this paper provide a basis for optimizing silver nanowire growth through the self-seeding polyol method.

Genotoxicity study of high aspect ratio silver nanowires Charehsaz, Mohammad; COŞKUN, Sahin; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Reis, Rengin; Helvacioglu, Sinem; GIRI, Ashok Kumar; Aydin, Ahmet (2017-01-01) The genotoxicity potential of silver nanowires synthesized via the solution-based polyol method has been investigated. They were found to be non-mutagenic in three Salmonella strains and were not genotoxic in a clastogenicity assay in mice. Residual surfactant was found to have an effect on the toxicological properties of the nanowires by increasing the rate of Ag+ release. Residual surfactant can be easily degraded via a UV treatment.
Transparent and conducting copper nanowire networks with improved oxidation stability Polat Genlik, Sevim; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) Among all scalably synthesized metal nanowires, silver nanowires are the most widely studied and the first commercialized nanowire type. On the other hand, copper nanowires (Cu NWs) are not far behind the silver nanowires and hold great promise due to their lower cost in combination with comparable electrical conductivity in the network form. However, oxidation is the prominent barrier in front of the large scale utilization of Cu NWs. It is well known that bulk copper itself is also prone to oxidation, and...
Gold nanowires with high aspect ratio and morphological purity: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of parameters Dertli, Elcin; Coskun, Sahin; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2013-01-01) In this study, gold (Au) nanowires were synthesized with a modified hydrothermal process, and high structural purity and control over Au nanowire diameter were achieved. Parametric study was performed to examine the effect of surfactant concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the quality of the synthesized products. The optimum conditions were determined for the synthesis with two different surfactant molecules, namely hexamethylenetetramine and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Au nanowires synthes...
Sol-gel derived tungsten oxide based electrochromic coatings Işık, Dilek; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) The microstructural, electrochemical and optical properties of sol-gel derived tungsten oxide electrochromic coatings have been investigated. Coatings were formed by spinning of tungsten metal based aqueous sol on glass with native ITO layer. Three sol formulations; acetylated peroxotungstic acid (APTA), peroxotungstic acid (PTA) and titanium-doped peroxotungstic acid (Ti-PTA) were employed to obtain 200-300 nm thick multi-layered coatings. Material and electrochromic characterization of the coatings have b...
Gold nanostar @ iron oxide core-shell nanostructures: synthesis, characterization, and demonstrated surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties Nalbant Esentürk, Emren (2013-01-01) Iron oxide-coated gold nanostars are produced by first synthesizing gold nanostars (ca 150 nm), then introducing a polyvinylpyrollidone coating followed by reducing iron(II) and iron(III) salts on the nanoparticle (NP) surface. Morphological and chemical composition characterizations of these composite nanomaterials were performed via field-emission transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy studies. The analysis revealed that the majority of the NPs had coating of approximately 1-5 nm ...
