One Dimensional Silver-based Nanomaterials: Preparations and Electrochemical Applications

One dimensional (1D) silver-based nanomaterials have a great potential in various fields because of their high specific surface area, high electric conductivity, optoelectronic properties, mechanical flexibility and high electro-catalytic efficiency. In this Review, the preparations of 1D silver-based nanomaterials is classified by structure composed of simple silver nanowires/rods/belts/tubes, core-shells, and hybrids. The latest applications based on 1D silver nanomaterials and their composite materials are summarized systematically including electrochemical capacitors, lithium-ion/lithium-oxygen batteries, electrochemical sensors and electrochemical catalysis. The preparation process, tailored material properties and electrochemical applications are discussed.
