Figure 1. Synthesis of CA-Ag NP/Ag NWs.

Figure 1

(a) HRTEM image of Ag NWs. The inset shows an aqueous suspension of Ag NWs (0.5 wt%). (b) FTIR spectra of pure cysteamine and CA-Ag NPs (cysteamine concentration = 6 × 10−5 moles). (c) HRTEM image of CA-Ag NPs (cysteamine concentration = 6 × 10−5 moles). The inset images show CA-Ag NPs (cysteamine concentration = (1) 1.5 × 10−5, (2) 3 × 10−5, (3) 6 × 10−5, (4) 1.2 × 10−4, (5) 2.4 × 10−4 moles) dispersed in ethanol. (d) HRTEM image of CA-Ag NP/Ag NWs (cysteamine concentration = 1.5 × 10−5 moles). The stable dispersion of CA-Ag NP/Ag NWs in an ethanol-water co-solvent is shown in the inset.
