Abstract: Provided is a method for producing Ag nanowires, including, heating a precursor solution that includes: an Ag salt; a water-soluble polymer; a surfactant, or a halide of metal ions having a standard reduction potential of ?0.1 to ?0.9V as a metal catalyst; and a reduction solvent, to produce the Ag nanowires. According to this method, a time for synthesizing nanowires may be considerably decreased, and an amount of Ag precursor discarded without reaction may be effectively reduced. As a result, the Ag nanowires may be produced with high efficiency and mass-production thereof through a simple scale-up may be successfully achieved.
