Electroplated core-shell nanowire network electrodes for highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we performed metal (Ag, Ni, Cu, or Pd) electroplating of core-shell metallic Ag nanowire (AgNW) networks intended for use as the anode electrode in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to modify the work function (WF) and conductivity of the AgNW networks. This low-cost and facile electroplating method enabled the precise deposition of metal onto the AgNW surface and at the nanowire (NW) junctions. AgNWs coated onto a transparent glass substrate were immersed in four different metal electroplating baths: those containing AgNO₃ for Ag electroplating, NiSO₄ for Ni electroplating, Cu₂P₂O₇ for Cu electroplating, and PdCl₂ for Pd electroplating. The solvated metal ions (Ag⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu^2+</
