Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the effect of spin-coating cycles with different densities on the light scattering properties of Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) transparent conductive films was investigated. The Ag NWs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results indicate that haze factor and the scattering in reflection and transmission directions increased with an increase in Ag NWs density. The resulting Ag NWs show cross point dropped down from ∼800 nm to ∼600 nm for spin coating 4–7 cycles. The ratio of back and forward scattering for Ag NWs exhibited a cross point that shifted to lower wavelengths with the increase in density. The controlling scattering properties of Ag NWs films may open a new avenue for Ag NWs application.
