New approach to preparing one-dimensional Au nanowires utilizing a helical structure constructed by schizophyllan

Three methods for the preparation of Au nanowires using SPG as a template are presented: in particular, the reshaping of 1D-aligned Au nanoparticles linked to the SPG structure yields 1D-aligned Au nanowires using chemical reduction after photoinduced dissociation, and this new method is very powerful for creating continuous Au nanowire structures.
