Abstract
Metal nanowires have received much attention when considering new promising transparent conductors to replace the cost rising tin-doped indium oxide (ITO). Here, we successfully obtained AZO/Ag NWs/AZO transparent conductive films (TCFs) with a large area (∼150 cm2) by dip-coating. It is found that the resistance and the transmittance of TCFs decrease with increasing Ag NWs immersion-coating time. A maximum figure of merit (ΦTC) value was achieved when the Ag NWs 5 cycles: ΦTC ∼ 3.05 × 10−3 Ω−1 (T:75.6 %, R: 20 Ω). The TCFs prepared by simple solution dip-coating method has superior optical and electric properties. This work provides a simple and effective way to develop large area, low-cost, and high-performance TCFs, and is expected to be applied to various optoelectronic devices (such as solar cells and photodetectors) as an alternative electrode.
