title: Tunable growth of nanodendritic silver by galvanic-cell mechanism on formed activated carbon.
abstract: Well-defined silver dendritic nanostructures have been prepared in large quantities in an ambient environment using formed activated carbon (FAC) only. A reasonable mechanism (step 1: reduction by surface reductive groups; step 2: growing in the form of a galvanic cell) is suggested.
