Freestanding "core-shell" AgNWs/metallic hybrid mesh electrodes for a highly efficient transparent electromagnetic
Abstract:
We fabricated the freestanding "core-shell" AgNWs/ Ni mesh electrodes by employing AgNWs solution onto the freestanding Ni-mesh. The combination of AgNWs and Ni mesh resulted in higher electrical conductivity, thereby enhancing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE). The hybrid freestanding electrode created highly effective transparent and flexible EMI shielding films, featuring an ultrathin thickness (3 µm), the high optical transparency of 93% at 550 nm, and a SE of 41.5 dB in the X-band, which exceeds that of 30 dB for a freestanding Ni-mesh (94%). We showed that the hybrid freestanding AgNWs/Ni-mesh film is a promising high-performance transparent and flexible EMI shielding material that satisfies the requirements for optoelectronic devices.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...
