Abstract
A synthesis method of semi-transparent conducting Ag-nanowire network on glass substrates at room temperature using a simple oxidation-reduction reaction of Cu nanoparticles and 0.1M AgNO3 solution was presented. The morphological, structural, electrical and optical properties of the synthesized Ag nanowire networks were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, 4-point probe technique and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The synthesized Ag nanowires had FCC structure. The Ag-nanowire network exhibited the semi-transparency up to 36% with the sheet resistance of about 104 Ω/sq. It was suggested that the morphology of the Cu thin film may play an important role in controlling the Ag nanowire density and morphology.
