In modern technology and science, there is a great interest for the synthesis processes of nanomaterials. Among other type of nanomaterials are nanowires. Nanowires were step towards improving devices in which they are used as a conductive layer, i.e., transparent electrodes. Silver nanowires are most often used in the mentioned technologies. Silver nanowires are excellent conductors of electrical and thermal energy which makes them the excellent material for use in energy transmission. There are several methods of silver nanowires synthesis, such as the hard template method, which uses nanoporous solids (a solid with pores a few nanometers in size) to form the nanowires. There are also many soft template methods, the most important of which is the polyol method, which uses an organic compound as a template for forming nanowires. The polyol method is used often due to simplicity and good yield. In this work an experiment on the synthesis of silver nanowires using the polyol method was carried out to test the efficiency of the process. The experiment consisted of heating ethylene glycol to 160 °C, adding copper(Ⅱ) chloride, a solution of poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) in ethylene glycol and a solution of silver nitrate in ethylene glycol. The experiment further aimed to isolation of silver nanowires to carry out their analysis and test possible application. The results of the conducted experiment showed that silver nanowires were obtained, but the synthesis was not completely successful due to poor yield and partial obtaining of spherical particles.
