Fabrication of highly conductive silver nanowire conductors integrated with the convective self-assembled nanoparticles

摘要

A transparent conductor is an indispensable part for the applications in optoelectronics, such as solar cells, organic light emitting diodes, and touch panels. By the emergence of flexible and printed electronics, the demands for a new conductor is being increased to resolve some issues on metal oxide conductors (typically, indium tin oxide, ITO); brittleness, price, and resource. Among the alternatives for ITO, silver nanowire has been considered to be the best material due to its good optoelectrical property and mechanical flexibility. The conductivity of silver nanowire conductors, however, should be further improved to be comparable to that of ITO at the same transmittance.
