Abstract
Silver nanowire (AgNW) random-meshes with high transmittance, low sheet resistance, and high oxidation stability and flexibility were fabricated using solution-based processes. The random-mesh structure was obtained by forming bubbles whose sizes and densities were controlled using a corona treatment of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. To reduce the sheet resistance of the fabricated AgNW electrode, a washing process using ethanol solution was performed. In addition, nickel (Ni) was coated on AgNW to improve resistance to oxidation. The effects of corona treatment and Ni-coating on the transmittance, sheet resistance, oxidation stability, and flexibility of the AgNW electrodes were investigated.
