The growth of AgCl nanocubes directly on the sidewalls of Ag nanowires is demonstrated. The nanocubes can be simply obtained through extended low temperature annealing of polyol-synthesized silver nanowires in a vacuum. The length of time and temperature of the anneal and the diameter of the nanowire affect the size and density of the nanocubes obtained. It is hypothesized that the AgCl material is supplied from reactants leftover from the silver nanowire synthesis. This novel hybrid nanostructure may have applications in areas such as photovoltaics, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and photocatalysis.
已证明AgCl纳米立方体可直接在Ag纳米线的侧壁上生长。通过在真空中对多元醇合成的银纳米线进行长时间低温退火，可简单地获得纳米立方体。退火的时间长度、温度以及纳米线的直径会影响所得纳米立方体的尺寸和密度。据推测，AgCl材料由银纳米线合成过程中剩余的反应物提供。这种新型混合纳米结构可能在光伏、表面增强拉曼光谱和光催化等领域有应用。
