Fabrication of high-quality silver nanowire conductive film and its application for transparent film heaters

摘要

Here,we report a facile method to produce pure silver nanowires(Ag NWs)with high yield.A highly conductive dispersant was used to ensure uniform dispersion of the Ag NWs.Without any posttreatment,the Ag NW networks,deposited on flexible substrates,showed excellent optoelectrical performance owing to minimal junction resistance between the Ag NWs.To explore their potential in flexible optoelectronic devices,a transparent film heater was constructed based on the present Ag NW networks.The heater could achieve rapid response at low input voltage and reach a relatively high temperature in a short response time.Since this high-quality Ag NW film exhibits relatively low production costs and fast production time,it may have value for future electronic industry applications.
