This communication presents a way to produce copper nanowires with aspect ratios as high as 5700 in 30 min, and describes the growth processes responsible for their formation. These nanowires were used to make transparent conducting films with a transmittance >95% at a sheet resistance <100 Ω sq⁻¹.

Challenges in the commercialization of all solid-state and next-generation batteries including strategies, key points, and application of solid-state batteries.

This article reports the fabrication of copper–platinum core–shell nanowires by electroplating platinum onto copper nanowires, and the first demonstration of their use as a transparent, conducting electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
