Abstract:Transparent conducting films (TCFs) made by the assembly/deposition of silver nanowires (Ag NWs) are widely used to manufacture flexible electronics such as touch screens, heaters, displays, and organic light-emitting diodes. Controlling the dimensions (length and diameter) of the nanowires is key in obtaining TCFs with the desired optoelectronic properties, namely sheet resistance and optical transparency. This work describes a combined experimental and theoretical investigation on the optimization of the NW … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
