Synthesis of copper based nanowires for optoelectronics and electrochemical applications

Abstract:

This thesis introduces new methodologies for the synthesis of copper Nanowires (CuNW) with high aspect ratio as well as copper nickel (CuNi) alloyed and core-shell NW with enhanced resistance to oxidation. The potential applications of Cu-based NW as Transparent Conductors (TC) and as electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) are also investigated.

The effect of the addition of alkane and alkene non-coordinating solvents with a range of carbon chains- from C8 to C1...
