Facile synthesis of ultrathin AuCu dimetallic nanowire networks [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
In this paper we describe a rapid and effective wet chemical route to the synthesis of netlike AuCu dimetallic nanowires, in which HAuCl 4 and Cu(NO 3) 2 were co-reduced by NaBH 4 in aqueous solution in the presence of surfactant Triton X-100. The nanowires are composed of homogeneous Au-Cu alloy and possess a uniform diameter of around 3.7 nm. The influence of the experimental parameters - including the concentration of the reducing agent and capping agent, kinds of capping agent, and the ratio of Au/Cu - on the formation of AuCu nanowires have been studied. Among the various parameters investigated, copper was found to play a key role in facilitating the formation of nanowires by means of an oriented attachment mechanism. This method can be further extended to the synthesis of other copper-containing dimetallic nanowires such as PtCu and PdCu dimetallic nanowire networks. © 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
