Spray Deposition of Ag Nanowire⁻Graphene Oxide Hybrid Electrodes for Flexible Polymer⁻Dispersed Liquid Crystal Displays.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the effect of different spray-coating parameters on the electro-optical properties of Ag nanowires (NWs). Highly transparent and conductive Ag NW⁻graphene oxide (GO) hybrid electrodes were fabricated by using the spray-coating technique. The Ag NW percolation network was modified with GO and this led to a reduced sheet resistance of the Ag NW⁻GO electrode as the result of a decrease in the inter-nanowire contact resistance. Although electrical conductivity and optical transmittance of the Ag NW electrodes have a trade-off relationship, Ag NW⁻GO hybrid electrodes exhibited significantly improved sheet resistance and slightly decreased transmittance compared to Ag NW electrodes. Ag NW⁻GO hybrid electrodes were integrated into smart windows based on polymer-dispersed liquid cr
