Description of Silver Nanowires
Nanowires are defined as one-dimensional structures having a lateral dimension of under 100 nanometres (with no restriction in the longitudinal direction). In this size range, quantum mechanical effects are significant, thereby they are also known as "quantum wires". Nanowires are used in the fabrication of extremely small circuits as an essential component of nanotechnology.
In addition to silver's high electrical conductivity, silver nanowires exhibit high optical transmittance and resistance to bending due to the nanoscale size effect. Consequently, they are regarded as the most likely material for replacing traditional transparent ITO electrodes, providing potential for flexible, bendable LED displays, touchscreens etc., and have been thoroughly examined for application in thin-film solar cells. Given the high aspect ratio of silver nanowires, they offer benefits in the use of conductive adhesives and thermally conductive adhesives.
