| Abstract
| - We review recent developments in our group regarding the solution-phase synthesis of one-dimensional nanostructuresof metals. The synthetic approaches include solution−liquid−solid growth for nanowires of low-melting-point metalssuch as Pb; seed-directed growth for Ag nanowires, nanobeams, and nanobelts; kinetically controlled growth for Ptnanorods, nanowires, and multipods; and galvanic replacement for nanotubes of Au, Pt, and Pd. Both characterizationand mechanistic studies are presented for each nanostructure. Finally, we highlight the electrical and plasmonicproperties of these metal nanostructures and discuss their potential applications in nanoscale devices.
