Figure 4From: Thin and long silver nanowires self-assembled in ionic liquids as a soft template: electrical and optical propertiesTEM images of the Ag NWs grown in this investigation. (I) TEM image of the synthesized Ag NWs. The inset of (I) displays the SAED pattern of the Ag NW with a twinned structure. (II) TEM image of the tip of an individual pentagonal Ag NW capped with a PVP layer less than 1 nm thick. (III) XRD pattern of the Ag NWs.Back to article page
