The volatilization rate of the solvent in PMMA solution affects the surface microstructures and morphologies, which results in different haze factors of the composite films. The areal mass density of AgNW shows a significant influence on the optical and electrical properties of composite films. The AgNW/PMMA transparent conductive films with the sheet resistance of 5.5Ω sq ^-1 exhibit an excellent performance with a high haze factor of 81.0% at 550？nm.展开更多

The effect of silver nanowire weight density on the optical and electrical properties of films, as well as the electrical percolation was investigated. The obtained typical AgNW-PET film exhibited high figure of merit of 31.3 × 10^-3 Ω^-1 with low sheet resistance of 4.95 D sq^-1 and high transparency at 550 nm of 83.0% （excluding PET substrate）. The resulting FTCFs based on PET substrate with high transmittance and low sheet resistance have a great potential in the application of high-performance flexible electronics and photovoltaic devices.展开更多

The optical transmittance, sheet resistance, crystallization and surface morphology were characterized by using the double beam spectrophotometer, Hall effect system, X-ray diffractometer and field emission scanning electron microscopy. XRD patterns of the hybrid films display characteristic diffraction peaks of Ag （111） and Ag （200）, and the Ag NW networks have a polycrystalline structure with a Ag （111） preferred orientation. A high transmittance of 83.95% at the 550 nm wavelength and a low sheet resistance of 21.98 Ω/□ are achieved for 3-PEDOT：PS S/5-Ag NW/3-PEDOT： PS S hybrid films.展开更多
