摘要

A facile one-pot rolling electrodeposition (RED) system for the synthesis of copper and silver nanomaterials has always been difficult due to the lack of continuous production convenient method. Solution-based and colloidal synthetic routes have enabled copper and silver nanoparticles with unique and novel properties to provide a base for a wide range of applications. Herein, we developed one-pot continuous synthesis rolling electrodeposition approach to fabricate copper and silver nanoparticles with uniform sizes and high yield with continuous production nature. Precise control over the electrochemical deposition time and rotating speed of rolling setup results in the fabrication of high yield and uniformly sized copper and silver nanostructures. The size and morphology of copper and silver nanostructures have robust dependency on deposition time and rotating speed of the rolling setup. Finally, we fabricated the silver nanoparticles conductive material and checked its potential for flexible and wearable electronic systems by measuring its conductivity, flexibility and stability, etc. The conductive material exhibits resistivity of 13.7 µΩ·cm, showing good conductivity of the prepared conductive material. Our facile proof-of-concept synthetic route provides new insight for the development of continuous and recyclable production of other metallic nanostructure.
