Hybrid Effect of Crossed Alignment and Multi-Stacking Structure on the Percolation Behavior of Silver Nanowire Networks

摘要

Owing to the superiority of being flexible, highly conductive, and extremely transparent, silver nanowire (AgNW) has been regarded as a possible candidate to replace indium–tin–oxide (ITO) for flexible transparent conductive films (TCFs), flexible electronics, and flexible display applications. To make TCFs with lower sheet resistance (), but without sacrificing the optical transmittance, the deployment of AgNWs is very critical. A crossed-alignment method along with multi-stacking structure was proposed to lower the percolative threshold, which thus can decrease the by a factor of more than two, in the premise of not affecting the optical transmittance.
