Uniform silver shell formation for air-stable Cu@Ag NW coatings with enhanced conductivity

Copper@silver (Cu@Ag) core–shell nanowires (NWs) were synthesized using a controlled galvanic displacement approach designed to suppress the oxidation typically observed in copper nanostructures. The procedure included a Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) based pretreatment to remove na...
