=Abstract=
This experiment is composed with two existed paper, one is to synthesis AgNWs with Psidium Guajava seed, and the other one is to synthesis transparent conductive layer by transferring AgNWs which are light sintered by Riso print Gocco lamps. Guava seeds contain some compounds, such as polyphenols and alkaloids, which can reduce silver nitrate under certain conditions, thereby promoting the growth and stability of silver nanowires. These compounds acted as reducing agents and stabilizers during the preparation process, thus enabling a green synthesis method without external stabilizers. For the light sintering of AgNWs, a local Japanese toy kit "RISO PRINT GOCCO LAMP" is used to replace the IPL (intense pulsed light) in the original paper. The sintered AgNWs is formed on glass and then be transferred to a PVB film.

This experiment synthesis Ag-NWs with Psidium Guajava seed, Guava seeds contain some compounds, such as polyphenols and alkaloids, are likely able to reduce silver nitrate to silver and synthesis the silver nanoparticle to "wire-alike" or "flakes" shapes under certain conditions. However, although we obtained the orange solution (which indicate the existence of the silver nanoparticles), but the dried solution didn't exhibit any conductivity, and the SEM result also doesn't show the existence of nanowires. This maybe due to the absence of PVP, the caping agent and the insufficient UV exposure during the synthesis process.

The experiment process is introduced below in the gallery. The process aims to repeat the result introduced in the paper "UV-Light Mediated Biosynthesis of Silver Nanowires; Characterization, Dye Degradation Potential and Kinetic Studies". The first attempt was made in BioClub Tokyo. Additionally, 3 groups of mixtures with different concentration of guava seed extraction was prepared: 1. silver nitrate solution mixed with distilled water, 2. silver nitrate solution mixed with guava seed extraction heat stirred for 50 mins, 3. silver nitrate solution mixed with guava seed extraction heat stirred for 4 hours. All beakers are put under UV exposure for 4 hours, the color of the second and 3rd mixture were changed from milky white to orange. The orange solution and the aggregations were collected separately, but only the solution was examined by the UV-vis spectrum in Tokyo.

====Collect the silver nanowires====
 
To collect the silver nanowires, you should focus on isolating the silver matter floating on the solution surface, as this is likely the nanowire component. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to collect the silver nanowires using a centrifuge and filter paper:
 
 
 
#Centrifuge the solution: Transfer the entire reaction mixture, including the orange solution and the floating silver matter, to centrifuge tubes. Ensure that the tubes are suitable for centrifugation and can withstand the required speed.
 
#Centrifugation: Place the centrifuge tubes into the centrifuge and run it at a suitable speed and time to separate the silver nanowires from the solution. The centrifugal force will cause the heavier silver nanowires to separate from the solution and collect at the bottom of the tubes.
 
#Remove the supernatant: After centrifugation, carefully remove the tubes from the centrifuge. The centrifugation process should have caused the silver nanowires to form a pellet at the bottom of the tubes, while the orange solution (containing smaller nanoparticles) should be present as the supernatant liquid above the pellet.
 
#Discard the supernatant: Gently pour off or aspirate the supernatant liquid containing the orange solution without disturbing the pellet of silver nanowires at the bottom. Be cautious not to disturb the nanowire pellet during this step.
 
#Wash the nanowires: To remove any remaining contaminants or unreacted species, you can wash the silver nanowire pellet. Add a suitable solvent, such as ethanol or water, to the tubes and resuspend the pellet. Then, centrifuge again to separate the nanowires from the washing solvent. Repeat this washing process a couple of times to ensure proper purification.
 
#Dry the nanowires: After washing, you can either air-dry the nanowires or use a gentle heat source to evaporate the solvent and dry the nanowires. It's essential to be gentle during the drying process to maintain the integrity of the nanowires.
 
#Collect the dried nanowires: Once dried, carefully remove the silver nanowires from the centrifuge tubes using a spatula or another suitable tool. You now have the purified silver nanowires ready for further analysis or application.

Two samples were prepared, the first one is the final solution drop dried on glass, the second is the aggregations collected from the centrifuged final solution.

==Part II, Gacco Lamp Sintered AgNWs PVM film==
 
Continued with the first part, in the original paper, the AgNWs is sintered by IPL (intense pulsed light) but due to the high price of IPL, I decided to try something else. I found a type of light bulb that generate sudden high heat in a Japanese toy kit RISO PRINT GOCCO LAMP which is introduced by the founder of [http://bioclub.org/ Bioclub], Georg Tremmel. The original purpose of the bulb is to create mask for riso print. The original usage please visit [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uURKi2lCHQg RISO PRINT GOCCO LAMP tutorial]. The follow on practices is documented in page [[Conductive thin coating made of AgNWs]].
