Summary
The unique metal nanowire synthesis method has been developed. It is based on the discovered phenomenon: synchronous cathode-based salt and metal co-crystallization in the course of salt electrolysis process. This method allows obtaining metal fibers on an industrial scale. Nanowires are successfully probe-tested for obtaining composite materials on the basis of polymers, magnetic greasing, magnetic-rheological liquids for fine mechanics, transparent electrodes, current collection of charge from monitors, energy photoconverters surfaces.
Description
Nanowires have been successfully probe-tested for obtaining:
composite materials on the basis of polymers when composite-included nanowire
ensures anti-static effect and electroconductibility; magnetic greasing,
magnetic-rheological liquids for fine mechanics; anodes with high discharge
characteristics for chemical current sources; transparent electrodes that can
be used for current collection of charge from monitors, energy photoconverters
surfaces.
Advantages: high rate of productivity and yield per unit of a reactor volume;
low self-cost of the product; high thickness homogeneity of wires, directivity,
corrosion-proofness.
