In polyol method, the choice of metal salts performs a crucial function in determining the properties of the final AgNW product. This research specifically explores the influence of different metal salts on the length and diameter of AgNWs synthesized through the polyol method. Each synthesis involved the use of two distinct types of salts, with NaCl being a constant component. Trace amounts of Iron(III) Nitrate (Fe(NO3)3), Copper(II) Chloride (CuCl2), and Potassium Bromide (KBr) were introduced in conjunction with NaCl. The morphology and dimensional distribution of the nanowires were analyzed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, while X-ray Diffraction was applied to study the crystal structure of the nanoparticles. Notably, the utilization of KBr in the synthesis led to the production of AgNWs with the highest aspect ratio, resulting in nanowires measuring 6.2 ± 2.5 µm in length. Additionally, the synthesis assisted by CuCl2 revealed a substantial presence of other silver nanostructures, such as nanocubes and nanotriangles, alongside nanowires.}, number={2}, publisher={Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi}, organization={Bu çalışma, Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu (TÜBİTAK) tarafından 2209-A programı kapsamında desteklenmiştir.}
