Abstract:
1. A method for producing a metal nanowire having a wire-form, comprising the following steps in that order: (A) forming a nucleus metal particle by reducing a first metal ion contained in a metal salt solution (A) by adding the metal salt solution (A) to a solution comprising a reducing agent (A); and (B) growing the nucleus metal particle by direct precipitation of a metal formed by reducing a second metal ion contained in a metal salt solution (B) on a surface of the nucleus metal particle by adding the metal salt solution (B) and a solution comprising a reducing agent (B) into the solution obtained by step (A), wherein a molar ratio of metal salt in the metal salt solution (A) to the total metal salt in metal salt solution (A) and metal salt solution (B) is 10% or less.
