With polyol-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as raw materials, the silver electrodes with high conductivity were fabricated via a dip-coating method followed by sintering process, and the effects of the dip-coating and sintering process on the conductivity and surface roughness of silver electrodes were investigated in detail. The silver film with a thickness of 1.97 µm and a roughness of about 2 nm can be prepared after dip-coating at a pulling rate of 500 µm s −1 for 40 coating times. The non-conductive dip-coated silver films are transformed into conductive silver electrodes after conventional sintering in a muffle oven, infrared sintering and microwave sintering, respectively. Compared with high sintering temperature and long sintering time of conventional sintering and infrared sintering, microwave sintering can achieve quick sintering of silver films to fabricate high conductive silver electrodes. The silver electrodes with a sheet resistance of 0.75 Ω sq −1 and a surface roughness of less than 1 nm can be obtained after microwave sintering at 500 W for 50 s. The adjustable dip-coating method followed by quick microware sintering is an appropriate approach to prepare high conductive AgNPs-based electrodes for organic light-emitting diodes or other devices.

Tin oxide (SnO2) and iron-doped tin oxide (Sn1 – x Fe x O2, x = 0.05 wt%, 0.10 wt%) nanoparticles are synthesized by the simple sol–gel method. The structural characterization using x-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms tetragonal rutile phases of the nanoparticles. The variations in lattice parameters and relative intensity with Fe-doping concentration validate the incorporation of iron into the lattice. The compressive strain present in the lattice estimated by using peak profile analysis through using Williamson–Hall plot also exhibits the influence of grain boundary formation in the lattice. The radiative recombination and quenching observed in optical characterization by using photoluminescence spectrum (PL) and the shift in the band gap estimated from UV-visible diffused reflectance spectrum corroborate the grain boundary influence. Raman spectrum and the morphological analysis by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) also indicate the formation of grain boundaries. The compositional analysis by using energy dispersive x-ray spectrum (EDAX) confirms Fe in the SnO2 lattice. The conductivity studies exhibit that the impendence increases with doping concentration increasing and the loss factor decreases at high frequencies with doping concentration increasing, which makes the Sn1 – x Fe x O2 a potential candidate for device applications.
