Recent Advances in Silver Nanowire Transparent Conductive Films: From Synthesis to Applications

Silver nanowires (AgNWs)-based transparent conductive films are critical for flexible electronics due to their excellent optoelectronic properties and mechanical flexibility. We discussed the preparation methods of AgNWs films, including Mayer rod coating, spray coating, spin coating, screen printing, and inkjet printing, and analyzed their advantages, limitations, and applicable scenarios. Furthermore, we systematically explored anti-oxidation strategies for AgNWs, such as surface modification, composite structure design, and process optimization. Potential approaches to enhance the conductivity, transparency, and flexibility of AgNWs films were also outlined. Finally, we discussed future applications and challenges, offering insights for the development of next-generation flexible transparent electrodes.
