Recent design and applications of flexible electrodes based on Ag nanowires and nanoparticles:a review

基于Ag纳米线和纳米颗粒的柔性电极设计与应用的近期研究进展（英文）

The recent rapid growth in electronics has reached the point where there is a need for solid-state devices with excellent physical flexibility, which will be a significant advantage in modern electronic devices. In particular, metal nanowires and nano-particles are chosen for electrodes because of their low resistance and high mechanical stability. Among the various alternatives, Ag nanomaterials have recently garnered increasing attention due to the high intrinsic conductivity, a transparency with a low sheet resistance and relatively low cost. We herein summarize recent developments toward flexible electronics on the basis of Ag nanomaterials , which show promising performance and outperform the commonly used. The typical fabrication techniques along with the promising applications for flexible devices, are thoroughly discussed.
