• Abstract: Silver nanowires (AgNWs) and oxide semiconductors such as titanium ox- ide (TiO2) nanocrystals are nanomaterials that have advantages in both; their physical and chemical properties. Due to these advantages, these nanomate- rials have the potential to be applied in optoelectronic devices, both for the manufacture of electrodes and in the construction of devices such as solar cells, photodiodes, sensors, and transistors. The performance of these opto- electronic devices depends on the synthesis method, which influences the size of the nanostructures, crystallization, purity, and phase composition. In this ar- ticle, we present a simple and rapid synthesis of nanostructures such as AgNW and TiO2 nanocrystals, which use the Polyol and Sol-Gel methods respectively, to obtain optimal dimensions for their applications. The nanostructures were deposited using the spin coating technique; on glass and silicon substrates for their characterization, which was carried out using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.
