  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR GROWING COPPER NANOWIRES
    Publication number: 20130008690
    Abstract: A method of synthesis to produce gram-scale quantities of copper nanowires in an aqueous solution, wherein the copper nanowires are dispersed in said solution. Copper nanowires grow from spherical copper nanoparticles within the first 5 minutes of the reaction. Copper nanowires can be collected from solution and printed to make conductive films (preferably <10,000 ?/sq) that preferably transmit greater than 60% of visible light.
