Direct chemical synthesis of gold nanowires with 2-D network structure and relationship between the presence of gold ions and shape stability of gold nanowires
Gold nanowires with a 2-D network structure were synthesized by a direct chemical synthesis method; the shape stability of gold nanowires was closely related to the presence of gold ions in the solution phase, without which the nanowires broke, and larger nanoparticles were formed.
