Recent Advances in Silver Nanowire-Based Transparent Conductive Films: From Synthesis to Applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Silver nanowire (AgNW)-based transparent conductive films are essential for flexible electronics due to their superior optoelectronic properties and mechanical flexibility. This review examines the characteristics and fabrication methods of AgNW thin films in detail. Among various fabrication techniques, the AgNW thin film produced by silk-screen printing exhibits the highest quality factor of 568.47, achieving 95.3% visible light transmittance of 95.3% and 13.6 Ω/sq sheet resistance. Ensuring the stability of AgNW films requires the deposition of protective layers through physical or chemical approaches. This review also systematically evaluates the different methods for preparing these protective layers, including their respective advantages and limitations. Furthermore, the review proposes strategies to enhance the conductivity, transparency, and flexibility of AgNW films. Finally, it discusses potential future applications and challenges, offering valuable insights for the development of next-generation flexible transparent electrodes.
