Abstract

Abstract : Ultra-long silver nanowires are rapidly synthesized at low temperatures by using 1, 2-propanediol as the reaction solvent and lead to transparent electrodes with excellent optoelectronic properties. Abstract : By using 1, 2-propanediol instead of the classic polyol solvent, ethylene glycol, ultra-long silver nanowires are obtained in only 1 h. These nanowires lead to transparent electrodes with a sheet resistance of 5 Ohms per sq at a transparency of 94%, one of the highest figures of merit for nanowire electrodes ever reported.
