A new type of prickly nickel microwires assembled by thornlike nanocrystals was fabricated through a simple chemical reduction route with the assistance of citrate. Thus-prepared nickel wires were subsequently morphology-retained modified with a thin silver shell via transmetallation. Compared with the uncoated sample, the Nicore–Agshell wires exhibited much-enhanced oxidation resistance, slightly changed magnetic properties and stark different catalysis for the creation of carbon particles in pyrolyzing acetone.
Graphical abstractA new type of prickly Nicore–Agshell wires assembled by thornlike nanocrystals was fabricated through transmetallation reaction of nickel wires with Ag+ ions. Compared with the pure nickel sample, the Nicore–Agshell wires exhibited much-enhanced oxidation resistance, slightly changed magnetic properties and stark different catalysis for the creation of carbon particles in pyrolyzing acetone.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
