Abstract
A wide variety of materials have been synthesized using procedures that rely on extremely high-energy densities produced by high temperatures and pressures. Anisotropic silver nanomaterials were synthesized by a process that uses high temperatures and pressures in the liquid phase, replacing conventional vacuum production. Powder forms of light-sensitive silver oxide and silver carbonate were dispersed in water and exposed to 355-nm laser illumination, producing nanosheets with a thickness of 10 nm and areas of tens of μm2. These large nanosheets of interest since they can be used as structural components of devices having anisotropic electrical and thermal conductivities.
