[PMID: 38611837 PMCID: PMC11013250 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29071558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Silver (Ag) nanowires, as an important one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterial, have garnered wide attention, owing to their applications in electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, and other fields. In this study, an alternative hydrothermal route was developed to synthesize Ag nanowires via modified reduction of Ag+. Silver sulfamate plays an important role in the formation of Ag nanowires via controlled release of free Ag+. Results of controlled experiments and characterizations such as UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS, and 1H NMR revealed that sulfamic acid does not function as a reductant, supporting by the generation of free Ag+ instead of Ag nanostructures in hydrothermally treated silver sulfamate solution. The initial reduction of Ag+ was induced by the combination of poly (vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) end group and degradation products. This phenomenon was supported by abundant free Ag+ in the mixed preheated silver sulfamatic and preheated PVP aqueous solutions, indicating a second and distinct Ag+ autocatalytic reduction. Thus, the roles of different reagents and Ag+ reduction must be studied for nanomaterial syntheses.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:5501. [PMID: 37570203 PMCID: PMC10420249 DOI: 10.3390/ma16155501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
A growing number of people are interested in using silver nanowires (AgNWs) as potential transparent and conductive materials. The production of high-performance and high-throughput AgNWs was successfully optimized in this work using a one-step, straightforward, and reproducible modified polyol approach. The factors influencing the morphology of the silver nanowires have undergone extensive research in order to determine the best-optimized approach for producing AgNWs. The best AgNW morphology, with a length of more than 50 m and a diameter of less than 35 nm (aspect ratio is higher than 1700), was discovered to be produced by a mixture of 44 mM AgNO3, 134 mM polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (Mo.Wt 40,000), and 2.4 mM KCl at 160 °C with a stirring rate of 100 rpm. With our improved approach, the overall reaction time was cut from almost an hour with the conventional polyol method to a few minutes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy were used to characterize AgNWs. The resultant AgNWs' dispersion was cleaned using a centrifuge multiple times before being deposited on glass and PET substrates at room temperature. In comparison to commercial, delicate, and pricey indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) substrates, the coated samples displayed exceptionally good sheet resistance of 17.05/sq and optical haze lower than 2.5%. Conclusions: Using a simple one-step modified polyol approach, we were able to produce reproducible thin sheets of AgNWs that made excellent, flexible transparent electrodes.

Abstract
Direct visualization of surface chemical dynamics in solution is essential for understanding the mechanisms involved in nanocatalysis and electrochemistry; however, it is challenging to achieve high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we present an azimuth-modulated plasmonic imaging technique capable of imaging dynamic interfacial changes. The method avoids strong interference from reflected light and consequently eliminates the parabolic-like interferometric patterns in the images, allowing for a 67-fold increase in the spatial resolution of plasmonic imaging. We demonstrate that this optical imaging approach enables comprehensive analyses of surface chemical dynamics and identification of previously unknown surface reaction heterogeneity by investigating electrochemical redox reactions over single silver nanowires as an example. This work provides a general strategy for high-resolution plasmonic imaging of surface electrochemical dynamics and other interfacial chemical reactions, complementing existing surface characterization methods.

Abstract
Flexible conductive polymer nanocomposites based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been extensively studied to develop the next generation of flexible electronic devices. Fiber materials with high strength and large stretching are an important part of high-performance wearable electronics. However, manufacturing conductive composites with both high mechanical strength and good stability remains challenging. In addition, the process of effectively dispersing conductive fillers into substrates is relatively complex, which greatly hampers its widespread application. Here, a simple green self-assembly preparation method in water is reported. The AgNW is evenly dispersed in aqueous, i.e., water-borne polyurethane (WPU) with water as the solvent, and a AgNW/WPU conductive nanocomposite film with an asymmetric structure is formed by self-assembly in one step. The film has high strength (≈49.2 MPa) and high strain (≈910%), low initial resistance (99.9 mΩ/sq), high conductivity (9968.1 S/cm), and excellent self-healing (93%) and adhesion. With good self-healing performance, fibers with a conductive filler spiral structure are formed. At the same time, the application of the conductive composite material with an asymmetric structure in intelligent wearability is demonstrated.

Abstract
Self-sensing actuators are critical to artificial robots with biomimetic proprio-/exteroception properties of biological neuromuscular systems. Existing add-on approaches, which physically blend heterogeneous sensor/actuator components, fall short of yielding satisfactory solutions, considering their suboptimal interfaces, poor adhesion, and electronic/mechanical property mismatches. Here, a single homogeneous material platform is reported by creating a silver-polymer framework (SPF), thus realizing the seamless sensing-actuation unification. The SPF-enabled elastomer is highly stretchable (1200%), conductive (0.076 S m-1 ), and strong (0.76 MPa in-strength), where the stretchable polymer matrix synthesis and in situ silver nanoparticles reduction are accomplished simultaneously. Benefiting from the multimodal sensing capability from its architecture itself (mechanical and thermal cues), self-sensing actuation (proprio-deformations and external stimuli perceptions) is achieved for the SPF-based pneumatic actuator, alongside an excellent load-lifting attribute (up to 3700 times its own weight), substantiating its advantage of the unified sensing-actuation feature in a single homogenous material. In view of its human somatosensitive muscular systems imitative functionality, the reported SPF bodes well for use with next-generation functional tissues, including artificial skins, human-machine interfaces, self-sensing robots, and otherwise dynamic materials.

Abstract
A suitable conductive ink for office inkjet printers is important for the convenient design of flexible electrodes for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG). Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) easily printed with an average short length of 1.65 μm were synthesized by using soluble NaCl as a growth regulator and adjusting the amount of chloride ion. The water-based Ag NWs ink with a low solid content of 1% but with low resistivity was produced. The printed flexible Ag NWs-based electrodes/circuits showed excellent conductivity with RS/R0 values kept at 1.03 after bending 50,000 times on PI substrate and an excellent anticlimate property in acidic conditions for 180 h on polyester woven fabric. The sheet resistance was reduced to 4.98 Ω/sqr heated at 30-50 °C for 3 min by a blower due to the formed excellent conductive network when compared to Ag NPs-based electrodes. Finally, the integration of printed Ag NWs electrode and circuits was applied to the TENG, which can be used to predict a robot's out-of-balance direction by the change of the TENG signal. In all, a suitable conductive ink with a short length of Ag NWs was fabricated, and flexible electrodes/circuits can be conveniently and easily printed by office inkjet printers.

Abstract
To date, silver nanowires (AgNWs) are routinely synthesized. However, the controllable preparation of AgNWs without any halide salts has not reached a similar level. In particular, the halide-salt-free polyol synthesis of AgNWs commonly occurs above 413 K, and the property of AgNWs obtained is not so easy to control. In this study, a facile synthesis of AgNWs with a yield of up to ∼90% in an average length of 75 μm was successfully performed without any halide salts. The fabricated AgNW transparent conductive films (TCFs) show a transmittance of 81.7% (92.3% for the AgNW network only without substrate) at a sheet resistance of 12.25 Ω/square. In addition, the AgNW films show distinguished mechanical properties. More importantly, the reaction mechanism for AgNWs was briefly discussed, and the importance of reaction temperature, the mass ratio of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)/AgNO3, and the atmosphere was emphasized. This knowledge will help enhance the reproducibility and scalability of polyol synthesis of high-quality AgNWs.

Abstract
A thin and conductive coating on an environmentally friendly polymer is imperative for protecting sensitive electronic devices. In this regard, a series of silver nanowires (AgNWs) coated nitrocellulose (NC) papers are fabricated by a simple and fast processed vacuum-assisted filtration method by varying filtrate volume to address electromagnetic interference. Their structural and EMI shielding performance is analyzed. The submicron thick and the lighter paper reveal the conductive AgNWs interwoven on the rough NC surface, making a 2D in-planar structure. Due to a strongly interconnected network, the coated paper displays an exceptional electrical conductivity of 8603 S/m. Despite having a minimum AgNW coating thickness of ∼0.69 μm and an area density of 0.041 mg/cm2, an ultrahigh EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of about 69.4 dB (a specific EMI SE (SE/t) of 1005797 dB/cm) in the entire X-band (8-12 GHz) region is achieved. The effective material parameters, extracted using plane-wave theory, indicate that AgNWs form closed current loops resulting in magnetic losses. These AgNWs coated NC papers synthesized by a simple procedure are promising EMI shielding materials for current emerging electronic devices.

Abstract
Graphene/metal nanocomposites have shown a strong potential for use in electronic applications. In particular, the combination of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with graphene derivatives leads to the formation of an efficient conductive network, thus improving the electrical properties of a composite. This work focused on developing highly conductive hydrophilic hybrids of simultaneously functionalized and reduced graphene oxide (f-rGO) and AgNWs in different weight ratios by following two different synthetic routes: (a) the physical mixture of f-rGO and AgNWs, and (b) the in situ reduction of GO in the presence of AgNWs. In addition, the role of AgNWs in improving the electrical properties of graphene derivatives was further examined by mixing AgNWs with a hybrid of few-layered graphene with functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (FLG/MWNT-f-OH). The studied materials showed a remarkable improvement in the overall electrical conductivity due to the synergistic effect of their components, which was proportional to the percentage of Ag and dependent on the procedure of the hybrid formation. One of the f-rGO/AgNWs composites was also selected for the preparation of gravure printing inks that were tested to determine their rheological and printing properties. All of the f-rGO/AgNWs composites were shown to be very promising materials for use as conductive inks for flexible electronics.

Abstract
The wide use of antibiotics has caused their continual release and persistence in the eco-system, subsequently giving birth to antibiotic resistant bacterial species in the aquatic environment, thereby necessitating immediate and efficient remediation of the contaminated environment. In the present study, we synthesized Ag/Ag2S@BiOI nanowires with an average diameter of ∼150 nm and length of 3-5 μm using a hydrothermal method and employed them as photocatalysts for photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline as a model antibiotic. The nanowire achieved nearly complete degradation of tetracycline (∼99%) within 60 min at the optimal condition of 100 mg/L TC concentration and pH 2. The degradation followed pseudo-first order kinetics, with a rate constant of 0.06228 min- 1. Our toxicity tests showed that the nanowire has negligible toxicity towards PBMC cells, suggesting it as a promising photocatalyst.

Abstract
The controllable preparation of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with a high aspect ratio is key for enabling their applications on a large scale. Herein, the aspect ratio regulation of AgNWs mediated by halogen ion composition in ethylene glycol system was systematically investigated and the size evolution mechanism is elaborately understood. The co-addition of Br− and Cl− results in AgNWs with the highest aspect ratio of 1031. The surface physicochemical analysis of AgNWs and the density functional theory calculations indicate that the co-addition of Br− and Cl− contributes to the much-enhanced preferential growth of the Ag(111) crystal plane. At the same time, when Cl− and Br− coexist in the solution, the growth of the Ag(100) crystal plane on the AgNWs was restrained compared with that in the single Cl− system. Resultantly, the enhanced growth of Ag(111) and the inhibited growth of Ag(100) contribute to the formation of AgNWs with a higher aspect ratio in the Cl–Br mixed solution. The results can provide new insights for understanding the morphology and size evolution during the AgNWs preparation in ethylene glycol system.

Abstract
Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants that pose potential threats to the environment and organisms. However, in-depth research on nanoplastics has been hindered by the absence of feasible and reliable analytical methods, particularly for trace nanoplastics. Herein, we propose a hyphenated method involving membrane filtration and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to analyze trace nanoplastics in water. In this method, a bifunctional Ag nanowire membrane was employed to enrich nanoplastics and enhance their Raman spectra in situ, which omitted sample transfer and avoided losing smaller nanoplastics. Good retention rates (86.7% for 50 nm and approximately 95.0% for 100-1000 nm) and high sensitivity (down to 10-7 g/L for 50-1000 nm and up to 105 SERS enhancement factor) of standard polystyrene (PS) nanoplastics were achieved using the proposed method. PS nanoplastics with concentrations from 10-1 to 10-7 g/L and sizes ranging from 50 to 1000 nm were successfully detected by Raman mapping. Moreover, PS micro- and nanoplastics in environmental water samples collected from the seafood market were also detected at the μg/L level. Consequently, the proposed method provides more possibilities for analyzing low-concentration nanoplastics in aquatic environments with high enrichment efficiency, minimal sample loss, and high sensitivity.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed for the specific detection of kanamycin in food using silver nanowires-gold nanoparticles (AgNWs-AuNPs) as a luminophore. Polythionine (pThi), another key component of the luminescent layer, can be used as an accelerator of the coreactant and can promote the formation of the AgNWs-AuNPs conductive network. In addition, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were polymerized on the AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi conductive network, which laid the foundation for the specific capture of kanamycin. The preparation and testing conditions of the sensor were optimized, and the performance was characterized. Under optimal conditions, the ECL intensity of AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE showed a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.9956) with kanamycin concentration (1 × 10-10-1 × 10-6 M) and a low detection limit (3.14 × 10-11 M, S/N = 3), showing satisfactory selectivity and stability. As proof, AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE was successfully used to detect kanamycin in actual samples with satisfactory recovery (83.27-94.13%), which was in good agreement with the results of HPLC-MS/MS (82.26-95.82%). The successful preparation of AgNWs-AuNPs/pThi/MIP/GCE in this experiment provided a new pathway for designing ECL components and constructing an ultrasensitive sensing platform in the field of hazardous substance detection.

Abstract
Silver nanowires are used in many applications, ranging from transparent conductive layers to Raman substrates and sensors. Their performance often relies on their unique optical properties that emerge from localized surface plasmon resonances in the ultraviolet. To tailor the nanowire geometry for a specific application, a correct understanding of the relationship between the wire's structure and its optical properties is therefore necessary. However, while the colloidal synthesis of silver nanowires typically leads to structures with pentagonally twinned geometries, their optical properties are often modeled assuming a cylindrical cross-section. Here we highlight the strengths and limitations of such an approximation by numerically calculating the optical and electrical response of pentagonally twinned silver nanowires and nanowire networks. We find that our accurate modeling is crucial to deduce structural information from experimentally measured extinction spectra of colloidally synthesized nanowire suspensions and to predict the performance of nanowire-based near-field sensors. On the contrary, the cylindrical approximation is fully capable of capturing the optical and electrical performance of nanowire networks used as transparent electrodes. Our results can help assess the quality of nanowire syntheses and guide in the design of optimized silver nanowire-based devices.

Abstract
Magnetite nanoparticles with different surface coverages are of great interest for many applications due to their intrinsic magnetic properties, nanometer size, and definite surface morphology. Magnetite nanoparticles are widely used for different medical-biological applications while their usage in optics is not as widespread. In recent years, nanomagnetite suspensions, so-called magnetic ferrofluids, are applied in optics due to their magneto-optical properties. This review gives an overview of nanomagnetite synthesis and its properties. In addition, the preparation and application of magnetic nanofluids in optics, nanophotonics, and magnetic imaging are described.

Abstract
With the advance in flexible and stretchable electronics, one-dimensional nanomaterials such as metal nanowires have drawn much attention in the past 10 years or so. Metal nanowires, especially silver nanowires, have been recognized as promising candidate materials for flexible and stretchable electronics. Owing to their high electrical conductivity and high aspect ratio, metal nanowires can form electrical percolation networks, maintaining high electrical conductivity under deformation (e.g., bending and stretching). Apart from coating metal nanowires for making large-area transparent conductive films, many applications require patterned metal nanowires as electrodes and interconnects. Precise patterning of metal nanowire networks is crucial to achieve high device performances. Therefore, a high-resolution, designable, and scalable patterning of metal nanowire networks is important but remains a critical challenge for fabricating high-performance electronic devices. This review summarizes recent advances in patterning of metal nanowire networks, using subtractive methods, additive methods of nanowire dispersions, and printing methods. Representative device applications of the patterned metal nanowire networks are presented. Finally, challenges and important directions in the area of the patterning of metal nanowire networks for device applications are discussed.

Abstract
Thin layers of silver nanowires are commonly studied for transparent electronics. However, reports of their terahertz (THz) properties are scarce. Here, we present the electrical and optical properties of thin silver nanowire layers with increasing densities at THz frequencies. We demonstrate that the absorbance, transmittance and reflectance of the metal nanowire layers in the frequency range of 0.2 THz to 1.3 THz is non-monotonic and depends on the nanowire dimensions and filling factor. We also present and validate a theoretical approach describing well the experimental results and allowing the fitting of the THz response of the nanowire layers by a Drude–Smith model of conductivity. Our results pave the way toward the application of silver nanowires as a prospective material for transparent and conductive coatings, and printable antennas operating in the terahertz range—significant for future wireless communication devices.

Abstract
Herrin, a simple and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of silver nanowires (Ag-NWs) has been reported. Silver nanowires were synthesized using Psidium guajava seed extract that acted as a reducing agent as well as a stabilizing agent for silver nitrate solution. Synthesis was carried out at 50 °C temperature under continuous UV-irradiation. Silver nanowires were initially characterized by a UV-visible and FTIR spectrophotometer. In addition, morphology and particle size of synthesized Ag-NWs were determined using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Nanowires were found to have 12.8 μm length and 200–500 nm diameter and cubic phase morphology. Furthermore, the catalytic potential of Ag-NWs for the degradation of methyl orange dye (MO) was determined. The selected dye was degraded successfully that confirmed the catalytic potential of Ag-NWs. The authors concluded that Ag-NWs can be synthesized using plant extract having excellent morphological features as well as impressive catalytic potential.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of fast cooling (quenching) on thermal properties, mechanical strength, morphology and size of the AgNWs. The synthesis of AgNWs was carried out at three different quenching-medium temperatures as follows: at 27 °C (ambient temperature), 0 °C (on ice), and -80 °C (in dry ice) using the polyol method at 130 °C. Furthermore, the AgNWs were sonified for 45 min to determine their mechanical strength. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the quenched AgNWs had decreased significantly; at 27 °C, the AgNWs experienced a change in length from (40 ± 10) to (21 ± 6) µm, at 0 °C from (37 ± 8) to (24 ± 8) µm, and at -80 °C from (34 ± 9) to (29 ± 1) µm. The opposite occurred for their diameter with an increased quenching temperature: at 27 °C from (200 ± 10) to (210 ± 10) nm, at 0 °C from (224 ± 4) to (239 ± 8) nm, and at -80 °C from (253 ± 6) to (270 ± 10) nm. The lower the temperature of the quenching medium, the shorter the length and the higher the mechanical strength of AgNWs. The UV-Vis spectra of the AgNWs showed peak absorbances at 350 and 411 to 425 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that AgNWs quenched at -80 °C have better thermal stability as their mass loss was only 2.88%, while at the quenching temperatures of 27 °C and 0 °C the mass loss was of 8.73% and 4.17%, respectively. The resulting AgNWs will then be applied to manufacture transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) for optoelectronic applications.
