Crystalline silver nanowire arrays (see Figure) with high aspect ratio are produced here by electrodeposition from a reverse hexagonal liquid-crystalline phase. Enhancement of the alignment is shown to be possible by applying a high electric field gradient during deposition. High-density bundles can be obtained by washing the deposited material and single wires can easily be retrieved by sonication of these bundles.
