Benefits of technology

[0008]Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method of freely and uniformly forming various shapes of metal nanostructures using an ionic liquid. According to the method, various shapes of metal nanostructures, such as a wire shape, a cubic shape, an octahedral shape and the like, are formed in a polyol reduction reaction in which metal salts are used as precursors.
[0030]In this case, the nitrogen compound or the sulfur compound may have a content of 0.1˜100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the metal salt. When the content of the nitrogen compound or the sulfur compound is below 0.1 parts by weight, it is slightly effective to control the shape and size of the metal nanostructure; also, the harmful side effect of deformation of the shape of the nanostructure happens when the content thereof is above 100 parts by weight.

Problems solved by technology

However, the metal nanostructures formed using the polyol reduction method are problematic in that various shapes are mixed although they chiefly have a wire shape, and in that it is difficult to produce the metal nanostructures such that their shape is reproducible according to reaction conditions.

example 1

[0037]50 mL of a solution in which silver nitrate (AgNO3) is dissolved in ethyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.1 M was mixed with 50 mL of a solution in which 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate is dissolved in ethyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.15 M in a round-bottom flask to form a mixed solution. Subsequently, the mixed solution was stirred and reacted at 160° C. for 60 minutes, and was then cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, the cooled mixed solution was filtered with a filter having a pore size of 1 μm, and was then observed with an electron scanning microscope. As a result, it was found that metal nanowires were formed, as shown in FIG. 1. It was observed that the metal nanowires had a diameter of about 220 nm and a length of about 7 μm.

example 2

[0038]10 mL of a solution in which silver nitrate (AgNO3) is dissolved in 1,3-propyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.2 M was mixed with 10 mL of a solution in which 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate is dissolved in 1,3-propyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.3 M in a round-bottom flask to form a mixed solution. Subsequently, the mixed solution was stirred and reacted at 100° C. for about 30 minutes, and was then cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, the cooled mixed solution was filtered with a filter having a pore size of 1 μm, and was then observed with an electron scanning microscope. As a result, it was found that metal nanowires having a diameter of about 180 nm and a length of about 10 μm were formed.

example 3

[0039]10 mL of a solution in which silver nitrate (AgNO3) is dissolved in 1,2-propyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.2 M was mixed with 10 mL of a solution in which 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulfate is dissolved in 1,3-propyleneglycol to a concentration of 0.3 M in a round-bottom flask to form a first mixed solution, and then sodium dodecyl sulfate was added to the first mixed solution in an amount of 1% of the silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form a second mixed solution. Subsequently, the second mixed solution was stirred and reacted at 100° C. for about 30 minutes, and was then cooled to room temperature. Subsequently, the cooled second mixed solution was filtered with a filter having a pore size of 1 μm, and was then observed with an electron scanning microscope. As a result, it was found that metal nanowires having a diameter of about 80 nm and a length of about 10 μm were formed.
