“…Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are one of the important parts of many optoelectronic devices such as touch panels, film heaters, and organic light-emitting diodes [1,2,3,4,5]. It is anticipated that TCFs will be applied as transparent film heaters (TFHs) in various applications, such as outdoor displays, vehicle window defrosters, or heat retaining windows [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. Currently, indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most widely used TCF because of its outstanding optoelectronic properties compared with other materials [1,2,3,4].…”

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) show promise for fabricating flexible transparent conductors owing to their excellent conductivity, high transparency, and good mechanical properties. Here, we present the fabrication of transparent films composed of AgNWs with diameters of 20–30 nm and lengths of 25–30 μm on polyethylene terephthalate substrates and glass slides substrates using the Meyer rod method. We systematically investigated the films’ optoelectronic and electrothermal properties. The morphology remained intact when heated at 25–150 °C and the AgNWs film showed high conductivity (17.6–14.3 Ω∙sq−1), excellent transmittance (93.9–91.8%) and low surface roughness values (11.2–14.7 nm). When used as a heater, the transparent AgNW conductive film showed rapid heating at low input voltages owing to a uniform heat distribution across the whole substrate surface. Additionally, the conductivity of the film decreased with increasing bending cycle numbers; however, the film still exhibited a good conductivity and heating performances after repeated bending.

“…To replace ITO, several emerging materials have been developed, such as metal nanowires and meshes [6,7,8,9], graphene [3,4], Ga-doped ZnO [10], and carbon nanotubes [5]. However, some problems still need to be solved before those materials can be widely used for TFH application.…”

“…They can also improve transmittance characteristics due to their high aspect ratio [ 90 ]. Novel applications can be seen in transparent conductive films (TCFs) [ 91 ], wireless technology [ 92 – 93 ], touchscreen devices [ 94 ], organic light emitting diodes (OLED) [ 95 ], transparent conductive electrodes [ 96 – 97 ], artificial skin [ 98 ], liquid crystal display (LCD) [ 99 – 100 ], and smart windows [ 101 – 102 ]. AgNWs can be embedded in flexible touch-screen substrates and electronic displays to provide an enhanced decrease in sheet resistance and to increase touch sensitivity [ 89 ].…”

The significance of silver nanostructures has been growing considerably, thanks to their ubiquitous presence in numerous applications, including but not limited to renewable energy, electronics, biosensors, wastewater treatment, medicine, and clinical equipment. The properties of silver nanostructures, such as size, size distribution, and morphology, are strongly dependent on synthesis process conditions such as the process type, equipment type, reagent type, precursor concentration, temperature, process duration, and pH. Physical and chemical methods have been among the most common methods to synthesize silver nanostructures; however, they possess substantial disadvantages and short-comings, especially compared to green synthesis methods. On the contrary, the number of green synthesis techniques has been increasing during the last decade and they have emerged as alternative routes towards facile and effective synthesis of silver nanostructures with different morphologies. In this review, we have initially outlined the most common and popular chemical and physical methodologies and reviewed their advantages and disadvantages. Green synthesis methodologies are then discussed in detail and their advantages over chemical and physical methods have been noted. Recent studies are then reviewed in detail and the effects of essential reaction parameters, such as temperature, pH, precursor, and reagent concentration, on silver nanostructure size and morphology are discussed. Also, green synthesis techniques used for the synthesis of one-dimensional (1D) silver nanostructures have been reviewed, and the potential of alternative green reagents for their synthesis has been discussed. Furthermore, current challenges regarding the green synthesis of 1D silver nanostructures and future direction are outlined. To sum up, we aim to show the real potential of green nanotechnology towards the synthesis of silver nanostructures with various morphologies (especially 1D ones) and the possibility of altering current techniques towards more environmentally friendly, more energy-efficient, less hazardous, simpler, and cheaper procedures.

“…The conductive nanomaterial commonly used include carbon nanotubes [10], graphene [11], metal nanowires [12], and their composites [13]. The conductive nanomaterial filled in the elastic matrix contact each other to form electrical networks that make the free electrons travel easily and conduct the electricity [14][15][16][17][18][19]. These conductive composite materials are lightweight, resistant to corrosion, and can be easily adapted to meet the needs of a specific application.…”

“…Graphene is considered to be a promising next generation conductive nanomaterial because of its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and mechanical properties with fracture trains of ca. 25% and a Young's modulus of ca.1 TPa, and the light weight, which make it highly suitable for flexible electronic devices [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Graphene-based conductive composite materials prepared require a certain amount of graphene sheets that are incorporated and homogeneously distributed into polymer matrices [27][28][29][30][31][32][33].…”

Flexible conductive films were prepared via a convenient blending method with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as matrix and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) modified chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO/NCC) as the conductive fillers. The relationships between the electrical and thermal properties as well as the tensile strength and electrothermal response performance of the composite film and the mass content of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and the initial TPU concentration were systematically investigated. The experimental results show that the resistivity of the composite film with the mass content of RGO/NCC of 7 wt% and an initial TPU concentration of 20 wt% is the minimum of 8.1 Ω·mm. However, the thermal conductivity of composite film with mass content of RGO/NCC of 5 wt% and the initial TPU concentration of 30 wt% reaches a maximum of 0.3464 W·m−1·K−1, which is an increase of 56% compared with pure TPU. The tensile strength of the composite films with mass contents of RGO of 3 wt% prepared with the initial TPU concentrations of 20 wt% reaches the maximum of 43.2 MPa, which increases by a factor of 1.5 (the tensile strength of the pure TPU is 28.9 MPa). The composite conductive film has a fast electrothermal response. Furthermore, superhydrophobic composite conductive films were prepared by immersing the composite conductive film into fluorinated decyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (F-POSS) ethanol solution. The water contact angle of the superhydrophobic composite conductive film reaches 158.19° and the resistivity of the superhydrophobic composite film slightly increases and still has good conductivity.
