Thin, long gold/silver nanowires were grown on substrates in thin surfactant solution films. This growth process occurred exclusively in thinning aqueous films as the water evaporated, and elongated surfactant template structures were formed. The nanowire growth depended on the presence of a relatively high concentration of silver ions (typical Ag:Au mole ratio of 1:1). Tuning the pH value to about 5 in the growth solution was crucial for the nanowire growth. Further development of this process may lead to a simple wet chemical technique for the fabrication of relatively uniform arrays of metal nanowires on surfaces.
