Silver-copper nanowires have broad application prospects due to their excellent oxidation resistance, mechanical flexibility, low cost, and optoelectronic performance comparable to indium tin oxide. Based on the analysis of more than 30 published papers, the preparation methods of silver-copper nanowires by liquid-phase reduction, seed-mediated, template, and hydrothermal methods were reviewed. The applications of silver-copper nanowires in transparent conductors, composite materials, sensors and catalysts were discussed. Finally, the prospects for the controllable synthesis and industrial applications of silver-copper nanowires were proposed. |
