Effect of AgNO3 addition rate on aspect ratio of CuCl2-mediated synthesized silver nanowires using response surface methodology

- Quantification effect/interaction among factors in polyol synthesis of Ag nanowires.
- More significant effect of Ag+ addition rate on aspect ratio than Cl− concentration.
- Very low aspect ratio at Cl− concentration <1.05 mM regardless of Ag+ addition rate.
- Predicting optimal conditions by RSM, achieving nanowires with aspect ratio of ∼100.
