Abstract:Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have shown great potential in
various
optical and electronic applications, especially in flexible and wearable
devices. Polyol method is now a mainstream strategy to synthesize
AgNWs. However, unreacted reagents including silver salt, surfactant,
and solvent are usually discarded after the collection of products,
resulting in a huge waste as well as a burden to the environment.
In this work, we demonstrate a simple recycle method to reuse these
reagents based on a two-step direct centr… Show more
“…AgCl can be recovered from sacrificed Ag nanomaterial to be used as feedstock for the production of Ag nanowires of good functionality, with reported efficiency levels of 69.8 to 84.6%. 14 Huang et al 15 studied the synthesis of Ag nanowires using ethylene glycol as a solvent and reductant. Large nanowires were retrieved by subjecting to centrifugation.…”

Recycling of non-product outputs containing substantial amounts of rare elements originating in nanomaterial syntheses is relatively attractive as rare elements tend to be more valuable than abundant elements.
