Figure 2From: Thin and long silver nanowires self-assembled in ionic liquids as a soft template: electrical and optical propertiesSEM image and distributions of the diameter and the length of Ag NWs. (I) SEM image of the Ag NWs synthesized using ionic liquid as a soft template. The inset is a large-scale SEM image of Ag NWs of approximately 30 nm in diameter. (II) Distributions of the diameter of the Ag NWs synthesized using various ILs (mixture of TPA-C and TPA-B, TPA-C, and THA-C). (III) Distributions of the length of the Ag NWs.Back to article page
