Abstract
Silver (Ag) nanowire having mean diameter and length of about 170.42 nm and 20.01 µm were prepared by the polyol process in ethylene glycol. Ag nanowires transparent conducting electrodes were then fabricated by depositing the Ag nanowires in ethanol and ink formulation on polymer substrates using a Meyer rod. The Ag nanowire electrodes exhibit an optical transmittance of about 68 % due to the large diameters of the as synthesized Ag nanowires. On the other hand, the sheet resistance was measured to be about 148 ohms/sq. When expose in air for 10 weeks, the sheet resistance increase to about 13 kohms/sq. Localized Joule heating during application of electrical stress of about 2 V for 7 days has resulted in the Ag nanowire degradation.
