Abstract We present a novel form of Ag2MoO4-based hybrid nanowire (NW) with a few remarkable attributes. Firstly, the NW is embedded and decorated with Ag NPs. Secondly, carbon atoms are intentionally incorporated within the matrix of the NW. Thirdly the hybrid nanowires are created via a facile process. Namely, focused laser micropatterning of Ag NPs on GO film as seeding sites and subsequent formation of the hybrid NWs by placing the patterned GO films on heated Mo foil on a hotplate. This unique process resulted in the production of hybrid Ag/Ag2MoO4 NWs that emit unique red fluorescence emission. And finally remarkable photodoping effect is observed from a single strand of optically tuned carbon-doped silver nanoparticles embedded silver molybdate nanowire. We demonstrate applications of these hybrid NWs as micro-display and time limiting, logic components for secure transmission of messages.
