Method for producing silver nanowires

Abstract

[Problem] In the production of silver nanowires, the necessarily amount of the silver-containing liquid is decreased, and the yield of long silver nanowires is improved. [Solution] A method for producing silver nanowires, including adding a silver-containing liquid to an alcohol solvent having dissolved therein a chloride, a bromide, an aluminum salt, an alkali metal hydroxide, and an organic protective agent, so as to perform reduction deposition of silver in a wire form in the alcohol solvent, the silver-containing liquid to be added having dissolved therein a silver compound in a silver concentration of from 3.5 to 32.0 mol/L. The silver-containing liquid used is preferably a water-containing solvent having a mass proportion of water of from 4.0 to 100.0%.
