A Review of Silver Nanowire based Transparent Conductive Film

Abstract:

As electronic devices develop toward the direction of miniaturization and portable type, film electronic devices fabricated on the flexible substrate have attracted more and more attention. As one of the necessary components of electronic devices the flexible transparent conductive films have become an important research area. Indium tin oxide is the traditional materials used in transparent conducting, but they are not used in flexible devices due to their poor flexibility. Silver nanowires films are considered to be very promising candidates of indium tin oxide for their excellent electrical and mechanical properties, acceptable price and conductivity of oxide. In this paper, we introduce the related theories and preparation and the research progress at home and abroad of the flexible transparent conductive silver nanowires films Further, we look forward to the future development of the flexible transparent conductive silver nanowires films.
