| Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have attracted considerable attention because of their excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, flexibility and unique size effects of nanomaterials, are expected to replace ITO as a new generation of transparent conductive film materials. Various synthesis of silver nanowires, such as polyol method, seeded method, hydrothermal method, wet chemical method and template method, were reviewed. The development trend of laboratory preparation to industrial production was put forward. |
