Our study proposes a novel strategy for the synthesis of Ag derivatives (AgX@Ag (X = Cl and Br) or Ag nano/microtubes) using the controlled chemical reduction or electron-beam irradiation of AgX nanowires (NWs), which were formed from the controlled dewetting of a AgX thin film on colloidal particles. The size of the AgX@Ag and Ag nano/microtubes can be controlled using the AgCl NWs as templates and varying the concentration of NaX. By controlling the concentration of NaBr, heterojunction-structured AgCl/AgBr NWs (H-AgCl/AgBr NWs) can be produced from the AgCl NWs due to a partial ion-exchange reaction (low concentration), and the AgBr NWs produced after a complete ion-exchange reaction between Cl- and Br- were further grown into micrometer-sized AgBr wires (high concentration). |
