Abstract:
Extremely long gold nanowires spontaneously assemble in a water-dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution of Au(SCN)4(-). The Au nanowires were crystalline, exhibited a very high aspect ratio, and, importantly, were produced without co-addition of reducing agents. Transparent conductive films were formed by surface deposition of the nanowires and plasma treatment.
