Characterization and modelling of transparent heaters based on solution-processed copper nanowires

Aqueous Synthesis, Degradation, and Encapsulation of Copper Nanowires for Transparent Electrodes

“…After the analysis of the described aqueous CuNW synthesis, a mean diameter of 134 nm ± 4 nm and a mean length of 40 µm ± 21 µm could be obtained for the wires shown in Figure 2 b. Employing the method outlined in Section 2.2 and in previous publications [ 28 , 29 , 58 ], the diameters were analyzed quantitatively and in an automated way from SEM-images (see Appendix A , Figure A1 and Figure A2 for the high-magnification SEM-images and the diameter histograms, respectively). The mean diameters as a function of the precursor-to-solvent ratio are depicted in Figure 3 .…”

“…On the other hand, CuNWs are grown from low-cost copper-containing precursor salts. The extremely high abundance of copper on earth compared to silver leads to a copper price that is lowered by around a factor of 80 compared to the price for silver [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”

Application of three-dimensional graphene in sound generation via thermoacoustics

“…On a PI substrate, the Ag NW was able to generate similar SPLs below 1.5 kHz while the sample was bent, with deviations at higher frequencies due to constructive and destructive acoustic interferences [21]. Comparing the 3 materials, Cu NWs had the lowest cost of manufacturing [119] while exhibiting the same acoustic performance at the low frequency with lower input power [90].…”
