Abstract:
With water as an eco-friendly heterogeneous nucleation accelerator, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have been successfully prepared with a high aspect ratio (>1600). The Ag NW-based film exhibits a low sheet resistance of 8.1 Ω sq-1 with a transparency of 81.9% at 550 nm, showing the potential application of electrode materials in polymer solar cells.
