Summary: A scalable synthesis of copper nanowires by alternating current electrodeposition into porous aluminium oxide was used to produce multigram quantities of 16 nm diameter by >2 µm long nanowires. Polystyrene nanocomposites were prepared by solution processing. The composites containing unpassivated nanowires were non‐uniformly dispersed and showed electrical percolation at ≈2 vol.‐% Cu loading, while the composites containing HSC 18 H 37 ‐passivated nanowires were uniformly dispersed, but remained resistive up to at least 10 vol.‐% Cu loading.Copper nanowires prepared by alternating current electrodeposition into porous aluminium oxide templates.
