“…Nanomaterials 2020, 10 10 of 17 XRD measurements were performed to analyze the crystal structure of typical products synthesized with the synergistic effect of mediated agents. Four diffraction peaks appearing in these diffraction spectra can be indexed as Ag (111), (200), (220), and (311) planes, which are consistent with the Ag crystal faced-centered cubic (FCC) phase (JCPDS file 04-0783), as shown in Figure 6c.…”

“…AgNWs. TCFs based on AgNWs are considered to be the most promising materials to replace indium tin oxide for transparent display applications [26,27], and their performance is demonstrated to be closely related to the morphology and the aspect ratio of AgNWs [9,10,31]. AgNWs 1 with a diameter of ~29 nm and a length of ~90 µm, and AgNWs 2 with a diameter of ~47 nm and a length of ~99 µm were selected to prepare TCFs.…”

“…With the development of nanotechnology, metal nanomaterials have been widely investigated due to their unique physical and chemical properties, especially one-dimensional silver nanowires (AgNWs) [1][2][3]. AgNWs are extensively used in surface-enhanced Raman scattering [4][5][6][7], transparent conductive films (TCFs) [8][9][10][11][12], sensors [13][14][15][16][17], electronic circuits [18][19][20][21][22], and other electronic devices owing to their excellent electrical, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. The performance and corresponding applications of AgNWs are closely related to their size and microstructure [23,24].…”

The properties and applications of Ag nanowires (AgNWs) are closely related to their morphology and composition. Therefore, controlling the growth process of AgNWs is of great significance for technological applications and fundamental research. Here, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were synthesized via a typical polyol method with the synergistic effect of Cl−, Br−, and Fe3+ mediated agents. The synergistic impact of these mediated agents was investigated intensively, revealing that trace Fe3+ ions provided selective etching and hindered the strong etching effect from Cl− and Br− ions. Controlling this synergy allowed the obtainment of highly uniform AgNWs with sub-30 nm diameter and an aspect ratio of over 3000. Transparent conductive films (TCFs) based on these AgNWs without any post-treatment showed a very low sheet resistance of 4.7 Ω sq−1, a low haze of 1.08% at a high optical transmittance of 95.2% (at 550 nm), and a high figure of merit (FOM) of 1210. TCFs exhibited a robust electrical performance with almost unchanged resistance after 2500 bending cycles. These excellent high-performance characteristics demonstrate the enormous potential of our AgNWs in the field of flexible and transparent materials.

“…The flexible device based on PEDOT:PSS/Ag NWs showed a higher PCE of 3.8% than that of ITO‐based device (3.4%). Later, many efforts have been made to form a protective layer on Ag NWs, including PI, [ 85 ] (NOA)63, [ 86 ] poly(chloro‐ p ‐xylylene), [ 87 ] polymethacrylate, [ 88 ] polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), [ 89 ] graphene, [ 90 ] graphene oxide, [ 91 ] and metal oxide. [ 92 ] Furthermore, Seo et al reported a new method (cold isostatic pressing, CIP) to fabricate a well‐connected junction Ag NWs on PET substrates at room temperature (Figure 5c), which exhibited low surface roughness, high conductivity, and superior flexibility.…”

Flexible and stretchable organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted enormous attention due to their potential applications in wearable and portable devices. To achieve flexibility and stretchability, many efforts have been made with regard to mechanically robust electrodes, interface layers, and photoactive semiconductors. This has greatly improved the performance of the devices. State‐of‐the‐art flexible and stretchable OSCs have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 15.21% (16.55% for tandem flexible devices) and 13%, respectively. Here, the recent progress of flexible and stretchable OSCs in terms of their components and processing methods are summarized and discussed. The future challenges and perspectives for flexible and stretchable OSCs are also presented.

Fireproofing the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) membrane is an essential and urgent reinforcement to ease the restriction in flame-resistant requirements. The traditional method by the physical and heterogenous introduction of a large number of metal hydroxides, halogenated and organic compounds efficiently enhance the flame-retardancy but severely weakens the biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and transparency of PVA membranes. In this work, two bio-extracted compounds, phytic acid (PA) and creatine (CR) are employed to construct a fireproof, tough and transparent PVA membrane. The LOI of the PVA/PACR membrane increases from 18% to 30% and reaches a V-0 grade in UL-94 testing. Meanwhile, the mechanical strength receives 20% reinforcement due to a chemical crosslinking between PVA, PA, and CR. Intriguingly, unsaturated chemical bonds from PA and CR endow a favorable UV-absorbing capacity to the PVA membrane, which will benefit the anti-aging and food freshness retaining demands in advanced packaging applications.
