Abstract

Silver nanowire mesh is a promising replacement for indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrodes for optoelectronic devices. In this article, effective light scattering by Ag nanowires (Ag NWs) are investigated. Compared with commercial FTO and ITO, we demonstrated that Ag nanowires exhibit better optical transmission and light-scattering properties in all wavelength regions. Combined with the ease of preparation and low cost, our results indicated that Ag NWs are a promising candidate for use as a transparent conductive material for thin film solar cells.
