This communication reports a new method to purify copper nanowires with nearly 100% yield from undesired copper nanoparticle side-products formed during batch processes of copper nanowire synthesis. This simple separation method can yield large quantities of long, uniform, high-purity copper nanowires to meet the requirements of nanoelectronics applications as well as provide an avenue for purifying copper nanowires in the industrial scale synthesis of copper nanowires, a key step for commercialization and application of nanowires.
本通讯报道了一种新方法，可在铜纳米线合成的间歇过程中，从形成的不需要的铜纳米颗粒副产物中以近100%的产率纯化铜纳米线。这种简单的分离方法能够产出大量长且均匀、高纯度的铜纳米线，以满足纳米电子应用的需求，同时也为在铜纳米线的工业规模合成中纯化铜纳米线提供了一条途径，这是纳米线商业化和应用的关键一步。
