Silver Nanowire Electrodes: Conductivity Improvement Without Post-treatment and Application in Capacitive Pressure Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Transparent electrode based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) emerges as an outstanding alternative of indium tin oxide film especially for flexible electronics. However, the conductivity of AgNWs transparent electrode is still dramatically limited by the contact resistance between nanowires at high transmittance. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) layer adsorbed on the nanowire surface acts as an electrically insulating barrier at wire-wire junctions, and some devastating post-treatment methods are proposed to reduce or eliminate PVP layer, which usually limit the application of the substrates susceptible to heat or pressure and burden the fabrication with high-cost, time-consuming, or inefficient processes. In this work, a simple and rapid pre-treatment washing method was proposed to reduce the thickn
