Transparent conductive electrodes comprising surface functionalized metal nanowires, their structure design, and method of making such structures

摘要

Discloses herein is a patterned transparent conductive electrode, comprises a substrate and a substantial single conductive layer on top of the substrate. The single conductive layer comprises a first region comprising a network of silver nanowires and means for protecting the nanowire from surface oxidation; and a second region, comprising a plurality of metal nanowires and means for protecting nanowire from surface oxidation, and metal oxide nanowires.

1. A patterned transparent conductive film, comprising
a substrate; a substantial single layer on top of the substrate, comprising
a first region comprising a network of metal nanowires which are surface functionalized and inert to oxidation or acid reactions; anda second region, comprising a plurality of metal nanowires which are surface functionalized and inert to oxidation or acid reactions, and optionally metal oxide nanowires, wherein the metal nanowires in the second region do not form a network.
