Silver nanowires were produced in a polyol synthesis using AgNO3 salt in ethylene glycol at the presence of PVP aspreferential growth agent. Long nanowires with average length of 25 μm with uniform diameter in their length wereproduced. This typical process leads to the formation of high yield silver nanowires with less than 5% byproducts ofnanoparticles.
