Solution-Grown Silver Nanowire Ordered Arrays as Transparent Electrodes

A transparent conducting film composed of regular networks of silver nanowires is obtained by combining a soft solution process (Tollens’ reaction) and nanoimprint lithography. The solution‐grown nanowire networks show a threefold higher conductivity than grids obtained by metal evaporation. This is...

Description
Summary:A transparent conducting film composed of regular networks of silver nanowires is obtained by combining a soft solution process (Tollens’ reaction) and nanoimprint lithography. The solution‐grown nanowire networks show a threefold higher conductivity than grids obtained by metal evaporation. This is due to the larger grain size in the solution‐grown nanowires, which results in a strong reduction of electron scattering by grain boundaries.
