Synthesis and Characterization of Noble Metal Nanowires

In the ten last years the nanomaterials science and technology have represented one of the most attractive interdisciplinary science researches. The growing interest for the nanoscience domain resides in potential applications in physics, chemistry, biology and electronics. Nowadays, the research in the nanomaterials field takes advantage from important funding since they are the basis for the development of new technologies, devices and systems. Bibliographical data present many synthesis methods of simple and/or multilayered nanowires such as: photochemical synthesis (Kim et al., 2002), catalytical synthesis (Huang et al., 2002), vapour-liquid-solid growing (Bjork et al., 2002), electrochemical deposition (Yu et al., 1997; Inguanta et al., 2009; Xu & Wang, 2008).
