Copper Nanowire Dispersion through an Electrostatic Dispersion Mechanism for High-Performance Flexible Transparent Conducting Films and Optoelectronic Devices
摘要： Highly dispersed copper nanowire (CuNW) is an essential prerequisite for its practical application in various electronic devices. At present, the dispersion of CuNW is almost realized through the steric hindrance effect of polymers. However, the high post-treatment temperature of polymers makes this dispersion mechanism impractical for many actual applications. Here, after investigating the relationships between the electrostatic dispersion force and influence factors, an electrostatic dispersion mechanism is refined by us. Under the guidance of this mechanism, high dispersion of CuNW and a record low post-treatment temperature (80 ℃ ) are realized simultaneously. The high dispersity endows CuNW with good stability (–45.66 mV) in water-based ink, high uniformity (65.7 ± 2.5 Ω sq-1) in the prepared transparent conducting film (TCF) (23 cm × 23 cm) and industrial film-preparation process which are the issues that hinder the widespread application of CuNW-based TCF at present. The low post-treatment temperature makes CuNW possible for applying on any substrate. In addition, the charge modifier, 2-mercaptoethanol, enables CuNW to resist oxidation well. Finally, flexible optoelectronic devices employing the CuNW film as the electrode are fabricated and show efficiencies comparable to those of optoelectronic devices on ITO/glass.

Facile and Efficient Welding of Silver Nanowires Based on UVA‐Induced Nanoscale Photothermal Process for Roll‐to‐Roll Manufacturing of High‐Performance Transparent Conducting Films
摘要： The continuous, large-area solution-processed production of silver nanowire (AgNW) transparent conducting films with outstanding optoelectronic and mechanical performance remains a challenge. Here, efficient welding of AgNWs is demonstrated using ultraviolet A (UVA) with the specific wavelength range from ≈320 to ≈400 nm based on a nanoscale photothermal process. The AgNW welding shows a self-terminating and self-limiting nature, and sensitivity to diameter of AgNWs. Sheet resistance of the UVA-illuminated (UVAI) AgNW films rapidly drops within 2 min without loss of transmittance. For the UVAI AgNW (30 nm in diameter) film, decrement of sheet resistance approaches three orders of magnitude (≈105–102 Ohm sq?1) with original transmittance being (97%) retained, which significantly enhances its optoelectronic properties. Enhanced mechanical flexibility, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE), and heating performance are obtained in the UVAI AgNW films. The SE and plateau temperature of the AgNW film increase to 25 dB and 50 °C after illumination, respectively. Smart window, transparent heater, and triboelectric nanogenerator based on the UVAI AgNW film demonstrate its versatile applications in optoelectronics. Finally, the welding method is easily integrated into a roll-to-roll process to manufacture AgNW film with a low sheet resistance of 25 Ohm sq?1 and a high transmittance of 90%, and excellent flexibility.
