A novel method for preparing long silver nanowires (see Figure) at room temperature using AgBr nanocrystallites as a precursor is revealed. These nanowires are on average 80 nm in diameter are tens of micrometers long, and in some cases grow as single crystals. Important factors for the growth of these silver nanowires are discussed.
