In the past few years, the synthesis and fabrication of inorganic nanostructures
with manipulated morphology and size have attracted considerable attention due to
their fundamental importance and potential wide-ranging applications.
Silver nanowires are particularly interesting to study because bulk silver has
the highest electric conductivity among all metals. A number of chemical
approaches have been explored to synthesize 1D silver nanowires.
We demonstrate a simple method to synthesize silver wires by thermal
reduction of aqueous AgNO3 droplet with catalytic anatase TiO2 nanoparticles
which were spin-coated on ITO or glass.
Our simple method can be also applied to generate CuO with donut-shaped
microstructure by using ITO conducting glass as matrix. We have found that the
size and reproducibility are well-controllable. A single phase of CuO donut-shaped
microstructure with outer diameters ranging from ∼ 13 to 17 £gm and inner
diameters ranging from ∼ 1.4 to 3.3 £gm was obtained. The composition of CuO
microdonut was confirmed by thin-film XRD and XPS analyses.
