20. 3 (0.050 g, Aldrich, 99+%) and 5 mL ethylene glycol solution of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP, 0.200 g, Aldrich, MW ≈ 40,000) were added together to the ethylene glycol containing platinum seeds. This reaction mixture was then constantly heated at 160 °C for another 60 min. The final solution exhibited a turbid, gray color. This mixture was centrifuged at ∼4000 rpm to separate the silver nanowires from colloidal particles. The solid portion was rinsed with acetone three times and characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, and electron diffraction. The products obtained using this approach were uniform nanowires of bicrystalline silver with diameter of 30-40 nm and length up to ∼50 μm.

29. 11/L to eliminate homogeneous nucleation events. The formation of silica nanotubes was achieved by keeping the nanocables in an ammonia solution with pH around 10.5∼11 for 1 day. The resultant nanocables could be separated by centrifugation and redispersion into DI water. TEM measurements were carried out on a JEM-1200 EX II electron microscope (JEOL) with an accelerating voltage of 80 kV. TEM samples were prepared by placing a drop of the solution on a carbon-coated copper grid.
