1. A method of forming silver nanowires comprising:
(a) heating a solvent;
(b) adding a catalyst solution;
(c) heating the solvent and the catalyst solution:
(d) adding a polymer solution having a concentration of about 0.075 M to about 0.25 M to the solvent and the catalyst solution to form a first solution;
(e) injecting a silver-based solution into the first solution of step (d) to form a second solution;
(f) centrifuging the second solution; and
(g) washing the second solution with a washing solution to extract the silver nanowires.
