One-dimensional metallic nanostructures such as rods, wires, belts, and tubes have drawn considerable attention due to their unique electrical, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties, as well as their promising applications in microelectronics devices. Among them, in particular, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have gained a significant amount of research highlight because of their high electrical and thermal conductivities. This study investigated the synthesis of Ag NWs by using a polyol process and their application to transparent conductive films (TCFs). TCFs were fabricated by coating Ag NWs dispersed in Isopropyl alcohol with a wire bar method. Acid or heat treatment was followed to remove a poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) layer or other organic layer wrapping the surface of Ag NWs. We measured transmittances and sheet resistances of the TCFs of Ag NWs. Their transmittances and sheet resistances were evaluated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy and four-point probe, respectively. We will discuss the synthesis of Ag NWs and their TCF properties in detail. |
