Growth of Ultralong Ag Nanowires by Electroless Deposition in Hot Ethylene Glycol for Flexible Transparent Conducting Electrodes

Figure 12

(a) Image of a flexible transparent electrode fabricated by Meyer rod coating 0.12 mg/cm² of washed Ag nanowires on a cellulose acetate substrate. The electrode has a sheet resistance of 84.0 Ω/sq at an optical transmittance of 80.0%. (b) Demonstration of the flexibility and the charge carrying capacity of the electrode in a series connection with 5 V LED.
