Abstract
Highly stable and durable conductive silver nanowire (Ag NW) network electrode films were prepared through decoration with a 5-nm-thick Ti layer. The Ag NW network 2-D films showed sheet resistance values as low as 32 ohm/sq at 88% transparency when decorated with Ti. These 2-D films exhibited a 30% increase in electrical conductivity while maintaining good stability of the films through enhanced resistance to moisture and oxygen penetration as a result of the protective effect of the Ti layer.
Highlights
Two-dimensional (2-D) conductive electrode films composed of silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks have recently attracted considerable interest as an alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) because of their good conductance, transparency, flexibility, and mechanical ductility in addition to their ability to be prepared via a low-temperature (
Some approaches to improving the ambient stability of Ag NW networks have been proposed, including using a functional protection layer such as ITO, TiO2, or ZnO deposited by atomic-layer deposition and sputtering [11,12,13]
Peng et al [18] demonstrated that a 2-D metal oxide hybrid film composed of graphene and MnO2 could be integrated into a planar super-capacitor design that was even highly flexible, allowing the repeated bending and folding of the devices without significant performance loss
