Flexible Transparent Conductive Films on the Basis of Ag Nanowires: Design and Applications: A Review

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2014.11.020

摘要/Abstract

Abstract: Transparent conductive films are used ubiquitously in optoelectronic devices. The properties of transparent films are extremely important for device performance, and the specifications vary according to types of devices. Over the past few years, various types of transparent conductive films on the basis of nanomaterials have emerged, and among these materials, silver nanowire networks show promising performance and represent a viable alternative to the commonly used, scarce and brittle indium tin oxide. In this paper, the working principle and the design protocol of Ag nanowire network flexible transparent conductive films are reviewed, and the applications of Ag nanowires transparent conductive film are also briefly introduced. Concluding remarks are provided to propose future research in this field towards real-world applications.

Key words: Ag nanowires, Transparent conductive films, Touch panel, Applications

Transmittance (550 nm) plotted as a function of sheet resistance for thin films[64]. Dots are the transmittance (550 nm) measured from graphene, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), Ag nanowires (AgNWs) and Ag flakes. The dash lines are printed on the basis of Eq. (5), and the solid lines are printed on the basis of Eq. (6).

img_2

Percolation resistivity as a function of the wire diameter[71]. The line plot using Eq. (8) is fit to the data experimented. The bulk value of resistivity of Ag is 1.629 ×
