Cylindrical and pentagonal Ag nanowires (see Figure) are selectively prepared in amorphous carbonaceous sheaths via a controlled hydrothermal reaction. Results indicate that the amorphous coating layer is responsible for the cross‐section symmetry selected synthesis. The distinctive optical properties measured fit well with the theoretical predictions, and applications in electronic nanodevices are envisaged.
