| Summary: | Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) is a potential material to be used as the transparent conductive electrode (TCE) material, in thefexible electronic applications. The polyol method is the commonly used technique to synthesis the silver nanowires. Thegrowth of the silver nanowires is facilitated by the oxidative etching of the silver seed particles. The present work investigatesthe infuence of the manganese(II) ions to promote the growth of silver nanowires. The manganese(II) ions, due to itsmultiple oxidation states, play an essential role in removing the dissolved atomic oxygen, which prevent the growth of longernanowires. Its Effect on the length and diameter of the silver nanowires is studied in detail with diferent concentration levels.
Characterization tools, such as X-ray difractometry, electron microscopy (FESEM and TEM) and UV–VIS spectroscopyare used to characterise the synthesised silver nanowires. The addition of manganese(II) ions alters the aspect ratio of thesilver nanowires that in turn, afects the optoelectrical properties of the TCE flms. By using the synthesised silver nanowires,transparent heaters are successfully fabricated and their performances under diferent conditions are evaluated KCI Citation Count: 3 |
