We have developed methods for the templated synthesis of palladium nanowires (Pd NWs) within the central channel of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) nanorods of various lengths. We show that uniform 4 nm diameter Pd NWs can be produced by selective growth within these channels by including the capping reagent, poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP30K) and reducing the metal precursor to metallic palladium with ascorbic acid. The length of the Pd NWs can be controlled either by varying the length of the nanorod templates and/or through alterations to the reaction conditions. We have also demonstrated bimetallic gold (Au)-palladium (Pd)in-situmetallization of TMV nanorods resulting in the production of Pd NWs 6 nm gold nanoparticles attached to their ends. The materials produced have many potential applications in the construction of nanoscale devices.
