The nanowires were separated from particles using centrifugation. In this case, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with acetone (about 10 times by volume), and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 min. The nanowires settled down to the bottom of the container under centrifugation while the nanoparticles that still remained in the liquid phase were removed using a pipet. This separation procedure was repeated several times until nanowire samples essentially free of particles were obtained. The SEM images were obtained on a field emission microscope (FSEM, JEOL-6300F, Peabody, MA) operating at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV. The TEM images and microdiffraction patterns were taken on a JEOL-1200EX II microscope (80 kV). High-resolution TEM images were obtained on a TOPCON 002B microscope operated at 160 kV. XRD measurements were obtained with a Philips PW1710 diffractometer (Cu-Kα radiation).
