Recently, many businesses and groups continuously research the applications of the one-dimensional nanostructure and earn some important achievements. The applications include ultra-thin full-color LED panel, photocopy apparatus, field emission display, low power-consumption nanowire LED, and sensor for sensing NH3 or H2.
- One-dimensional metal nanostructure, such as gold, tin, silver, or platinum nanowire, has well electrical characteristics so as to be applied to the materials of leading wires. Because the micro-effects, such as the surface effect, quantum effect, and tunneling effect, become obvious in nanoscale, the one-dimensional metal nanostructure suits for various electrical nanodevices utilizing the micro-effects. Furthermore, the one-dimensional metal nanostructure suits for electrode, low temperature conductive paste, superconducting thick-film circuit, and materials for absorbing micro wave and electromagnetic wave. Silver is an optimum metal conductive material, therefore, the applications of silver nanowires are considered as important issues.
- However, for the one-dimensional nanostructures, only the nanotubes but not the one-dimensional metal nanomaterials with high conductive effect are commercialized in the business situations. Although several methods for fabricating one-dimensional metal nanowires exist, the methods have some disadvantages to commercialization. The advantages and the disadvantages of the method for fabricating one-dimensional metal nanowires in the prior arts are described in the following.
- In the prior arts, the method for fabricating one-dimensional metal nanowires includes Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) method, electron beam spinning method, catalyst growth method, chemical pyrolysis method, and core-shell growth method. The nanowires fabricated by AAO method have small diameters and fine uniformity, but the processes of AAO method are complex and then it does not suit for mass-production. For the reason, AAO method is disadvantageous for commercialization. Electron beam spinning method and catalyst growth method can control the growing position of metal nanowires, however, similarly, the processes of electron beam spinning method and catalyst growth method are complex and the cost of the equipment required is high. For the reason, electron beam spinning method and catalyst growth method are disadvantageous for commercialization. Chemical pyrolysis method just requires general equipments and the processes thereof are simple for commercialization, however, the metal nanowires fabricated by chemical pyrolysis method have larger diameter and a trace of nanoparticles grow at the same time. In other words, the yield of chemical pyrolysis method is lower than the yields of other method. Core-shell growth method treats the carbon nanotubes as cores and coats films on the carbon nanotubes to form multi-functional composite materials, however, the diameters of the multi-functional composite materials are larger and the uniformity thereof is not easy to control, and furthermore, the processes are complex and the cost is quite high.
- As described above, chemical pyrolysis method is more suitable for mass-producing silver nanowires than other method, however, the problems of this method are that the larger particles grow according to condensation effect, and the high temperature reaction is suitable for batch fabricating so that the capacity is still not enough.
- A scope of the invention is to provide a method for mass-producing high quality silver nanowires to solve the above-mentioned problems.
- According to an embodiment, the method of the invention could be used for fabricating silver nanowires, and the steps of the method are described as below. Firstly, a glycol solution is fed into a reacting tank and an aging tank, and the glycol solution is preheated in the reacting tank and the aging tank. And then, a silver-salt solution and a protecting agent solution are fed into the reacting tank by continuous feeding and are mixed, and the mixed solution proceeds with the reaction in a suitable temperature range in the reacting tank. After a first staying duration and solids are separated out from the mixed solution in the reacting tank, the mixed solution could be fed into the aging tank to proceed with the aging process. After staying in the aging tank for a second staying duration, the mixed solution could be took out and purified to obtain the silver nanowires.
- In this embodiment, the silver-salt solution is formed by dissolving a silver nitrate in a glycol solution, and the protecting agent solution is formed by dissolving a polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) in a glycol solution.
- Furthermore, the method for purifying the mixed solution for obtaining the silver nanowires can further comprise the following steps. Acetone is mixed with the mixed solution to substantially remove the glycol to obtain the precipitates. The precipitates are dissolved in a hot water to form a solution and the solution proceeds with ion exchange.

FIG. 1 .FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating the method for continuously fabricating silver nanowires according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown inFIG. 1 , the method in the embodiment comprises the following steps of: in step S10, feeding a first solution into a reacting tank and a aging tank, and preheating the first solution to a first temperature range; in step S12, feeding a silver-salt solution and a protecting agent solution into the reacting tank, and the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution mixing with each other in a second temperature range and staying for a first staying duration to form a second solution; in step S14, feeding the second solution into the aging tank and making the second solution to stay in the aging tank for a second staying duration to form a third solution; in step S16, purifying the third solution to obtain the silver nanowires. - In this embodiment, the first solution could be a glycol solution, but in practice, it is not limited to the glycol solution. Besides, the silver-salt solution could be formed by dissolving a silver nitrate in a glycol solution in this embodiment. However, it could be formed by dissolving water-soluble silver salt in other solvent in practice but not limited to the silver nitrate and the glycol. For example, the silver-salt solution could be formed by dissolving silver acetate or silver nitrite in an organic solvent. Similarly, the protecting agent solution could be formed by dissolving a polyvinyl pyrrolidone in a glycol solution, but it is not a limitation.
- In step S12, the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution could be fed into the reacting tank at the same time according to a ratio, and in this embodiment, the ratio could be equality. It should be noted that because the silver-salt solution starts to contact the protecting agent solution in the reacting tank, it could be prevented from early contact and reacting in non-predetermined conditions, which may result in generation of silver nanoparticles or other unanticipated effects.
- The silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution could be fed into the reacting tank by continuous feeding. Therefore, the reaction can continuously proceed to mass-produce the silver nanowires. For example, the reacting tank can include two different entrances for continuously feeding the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution respectively according to the ratio of equality. It should be noted that the continuous feeding process decreases the temperature of the mixed solution, so the preheating in step S10 is required to ensure that the reaction of the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution proceeds at the reactive temperature. If the preheating is absent, the reaction proceeds at lower temperature after feeding the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution that results in more nanoparticles growing.
- In this embodiment, the protecting agent solution is formed by the dissolving polyvinyl pyrrolidone in the glycol solution. The polyvinyl pyrrolidone is a water-soluble macromolecular compound capable of dissolving in the glycol. The molecules of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone can provide barriers for limiting the growth of the silver particles to fit the nanoscale when the silver nanoparticles are separated from the mixed solution of the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution. On the other hand, the oxygen functional groups on the long chains of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone can lead the silver nanoparticles to assemble and stably grow along a one-dimensional direction in the reacting tank, and then the one-dimensional silver nanowires are formed during the aging process in the aging tank.
- To well mix the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution, a homogenizer, a magnetic mixer, or a motor mixer could be disposed in the reacting tank to assist the mixing. It should be noted that if a motor mixer is used, the first solution (the glycol solution in this embodiment) for preheating should be fed into the reacting tank to the quantity which the vanes of the motor mixer can stir. In this embodiment, the concentration of the silver salt of the silver-salt solution could be larger than 0.5 wt %. Besides, the range of molecular weights of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone of the protecting agent solution could be 5000˜360000. The weight ratio of the polyvinyl pyrrolidone to the silver nitrate when the silver-salt solution and the protecting agent solution are fed into the reacting tank could be 0.5˜6. Furthermore, the second temperature range kept in the reacting tank could be 140° C. to 180° C., and the first temperature range for preheating could be 170° C. to 180° C. It should be noted that the temperature range in the reacting tank and the aging tank and the preheating could be provided by micro-wave heating, but it is not a limitation.
- Because the temperature of the reaction influences the rate for separating out the silver nanowires from the mixed solution, the first staying duration which the second solution stays for in the reacting tank could be a range of 10 minutes to 30 minutes, but it is not a limitation. The second staying duration which the second solution stays for in the aging tank could be, but not limited to 30 minutes. Practically, under a temperature condition and a concentration condition suitable for reacting, the first staying duration could be reasonably set as a range of 10 minutes to 45 minutes. Besides, a stable state is reached after feeding the silver-salt solution and the protecting for 30 minutes, and because of continuous feeding, the yield for the silver ions transforming into the silver nanoparticles is a stable value roughly in the reacting tank, and in practice, the stable value is 90% roughly. The yield could be raised to about 100% after feeding the mixed solution into the aging tank for 30 minutes. Therefore, the staying duration in the aging tank could be reasonably set as 30 minutes.

The hot water can dissolve the polyvinyl pyrrolidone of the precipitate portion, and additionally, the hot water can assist the residual acetone in the precipitate portion to evaporate.
- In this embodiment, the fourth solution could be processed by ion exchange process (as described in step S164) to remove the positive ions and the negative ions so as to form the neutral fifth solution. It should be noted that the fourth solution could be cooled before the ion exchange process in step S164. The fifth solution obtained in step S164 has well mixed and high quality silver nanowires covered by the polyvinyl pyrrolidone.

Therefore, the sixth solution has the silver nanowires without covering. Finally, the powder of the high quality silver nanowires could be obtained by removing the water of the sixth solution in step S168.
