A method for manufacturing metal nano-wires is described, which is suitable for manufacturing silver nano-wires and copper nano-wires and includes the following steps. A metal nano-particle resulting solution is prepared to mix a first metal ionic compound, a first reductant and a first capping agent, so as to form various metal nano-particles. An illumination treatment is performed on the metal nano-particle resulting solution. A portion of the metal nano-particle resulting solution after the illumination treatment is mixed with a metal nano-wire resulting solution to form metal nano-wires by using the metal nano-particles of the portion of the metal nano-particle resulting solution as seeds. The metal nano-wire resulting solution includes a second metal ionic compound, a second reductant and a second capping agent.
