Abstract

Silver nanowire (AgNWs) ?lms were fabricated as transparent electrodes by electrostatic spradeposition (ESD) at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The effects of solution concentration, spray ?ow rate, applied high voltage, and annealing temperature were characterized to obtain uniform ?lms. AgNWs thin ?lm was produced with ca. 20 ω/sheet resistance and 83% transparency in the visible range. Morphologies, optical and electrical properties, and stabilities of the ?lms were investigated in this work. A maximum ratio of DC to optical conductivity of 288 waachieved in a 120 nm thick AgNW thin ?lm. Chemical stability was evaluated in various solvents and we found that solvents had little effect on conductivity.
