Effective surface modification method of silver nanowires with alkaline solutions for enhancing electrical property of silver transparent electrode

Transparent electrodes are usually manufactured by depositing electrical materials (silver, ITO, CNT, etc.) on selective substrates. Since the polymeric capping agent is inevitably using to forming certain morphology during the silver nanowires fabrication, the used polyvinylpyrrolidone (hereinafter, PVP) can be partially remain at the surface in [1 0 0] facet of the conductive materials with high surface energy, even after conducting washing...
