Abstract

Abstract: Silver nanovines, prepared at ambient pressure and temperature, were grown in solution using eutectic gallium‐indium (EGaIn) seeds. In this process, EGaIn serves both as an effective reductant and heterogeneous nucleation center enabling the selective growth of silver nanovines from aqueous silver nitrate solutions. This process is a versatile route towards grafted silver nanostructures performed under ambient conditions with non‐toxic reagents. Abstract :
