Research progress of one-dimensional metal nanomaterials

Some major types of the one-dimensional metal nanomaterials were described,such as gold,silver,copper,iron,tin,tungsten and palladium.Two preparation methods of the one-dimensional metallic nanomaterials were described systematically,the gas phase synthesis method and the liquid phase synthesis method.The leading performances and the applications of the one-dimensional metallic nanomaterials were summarized,such as optical properties and applications,electrical properties and its applications,thermal stability and its applications,magnetic properties and its applications,and gas properties and applications.The trends of the one-dimensional metallic nanomaterials were prospected.
