The invention discloses a method for preparing
silver nanowires. Under protection of
inert gas, a
polymer polyhydric
alcohol solution and a silver salt and
halide polyhydric
alcohol solution are sequentially added into a premixing container and are stirred to be completely dissolved, and mixed liquor is transferred to a reaction device which is preheated to 100-180 DEG C to react for 2-5 h;
acetone with the volume being 5-9 times that of prepared silver
nanowire mother liquor is added into the prepared silver
nanowire mother liquor, natural
settling is conducted for 10-30 min after acute vibration, supernatant is moved away,
sediment is reserved, and the process is repeated 2-3 times; ethyl
alcohol with the volume being 5-9 times that of the
mother liquor is added into the
sediment,
centrifugal separation is carried out, supernatant is moved away,
sediment is reserved, and the process is repeated 2-3 times; and obtained
silver nanowires are stored in the ethyl alcohol in a scattered mode. The preparation method is one-pot, operation is simple, and stability and
repeatability are good; stirring is not needed in the reaction process during preparation, and silver wire particles are few; the material adding speed does not need to be strictly controlled in the preparing process, and large-scale production is facilitated; separation and purification are carried out through natural
settling of the
acetone and then centrifugal
sedimentation of the ethyl alcohol, so that the separation efficiency is higher.
