Abstract

A seed-free, aqueous solution route was devised for preparing single crystalline gold nanowires by using a new reducing agent, 2-pyrrolidinone as a solvent and water as an initiating agent. In addition, the reaction mechanism was carefully studied by control experiments and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS).
