METAL NANOWIRES, NANOMESH AND A METHOD OF FABRICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of forming copper nanowires with a metallic coating. In a preferred embodiment, the metallic coating is copper. Due to the metal coating, the nanowires become magnetically guidable and chemically stable. As such, the nanowires can be used to form nanomesh. Further, the nanowire and nanomesh of the present invention can be used as transparent electrodes that are used in TV, PC, touch-control, and solar industries.
