Separating the wheat from the chaff : Cross‐flow filtration is shown to be an effective method to remove particle by‐products from, for example, silver nanowires. To quantify the effect of purification, number‐ and weight‐average aspect ratios and a polydispersity index are defined, which borrow concepts of molecular weight distributions from polymer science.
