The invention relates to a method for silver
nanowire purification through vibration and
sedimentation and belongs to the technical field of silver
nanowire purification. The technical problems that an existing method for silver
nanowire purification is large in
acetone dosage and poor in removal effect of impurities such as particles are solved. The method comprises the steps that 1,
acetone is added into a silver nanowire mother solution prepared through a
polyol method, vibration is conducted, and an upper solution is removed; 2, then
distilled water is added, vibration is conducted till the nanowire is completely dispersed,
acetone is added again, vibration is conducted, and an upper solution is removed; and 3, if the upper solution is muddy, operation of the step two is repeated till an upper solution is completely clear and transparent, the upper solution is removed, and silver nanowire purification is completed. According to the method for silver nanowire purification through vibration and
sedimentation, acetone adding and vibration are combined, the impurities such as the particles in a nanowire solution are separated step by step, purity of the silver nanowire is greatly improved, the acetone dosage is reduced, still standing is not needed, treating time is shortened, the operation steps are few, complex devices are not needed, and the method has an obvious cost
advantage.
