“…Recently, a number of applications of hybrid AgNW-graphene have been demonstrated in the literature ranging from its use as electrodes in light-emitting diodes to atomically thin barrier layer for protection against high-energy radiation [21,29,30,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. The schematic shown in Figure 6 summarizes the recent progress in the field and Table 2 presents their key physical properties.…”

“…In such a network, the individual transport bottlenecks of nanowire-nanowire junction resistances and graphene grain-boundary resistances were circumvented by each other, leading to stabilized sheet resistance of 13 Ω/ with T = 88% at a wavelength of 550 nm. As a result, a number of devices, including the electrochromic device, UV LED, red LED, polymer LED, and organic solar cell, electrodes for transistors, and biosensors have been demonstrated as an application of hybrid TCE [20,21,53,[55][56][57][58][59][60] . In addition, hybrid networks have also been used as source and drain electrodes in a transistor structure [21].…”

Abstract:Although transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) are widely employed as transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) for applications such as touch screens and displays, new nanostructured TCEs are of interest for future applications, including emerging transparent and flexible electronics. A number of twodimensional networks of nanostructured elements have been reported, including metallic nanowire networks consisting of silver nanowires, metallic carbon nanotubes (mCNTs), copper nanowires or gold nanowires, and metallic mesh structures. In these single-component systems, it has generally been difficult to achieve sheet resistances that are comparable to ITO at a given broadband optical transparency. A relatively new third category of TCEs consisting of networks of 1D-1D and 1D-2D nanocomposites (such as silver nanowires and CNTs, silver nanowires and polycrystalline graphene, silver nanowires and reduced graphene oxide) have demonstrated TCE performance comparable to, or better than, ITO. In such hybrid networks, copercolation between the two components can lead to relatively low sheet resistances at nanowire densities corresponding to high optical transmittance. This review provides an overview of reported hybrid networks, including a comparison of the performance regimes achievable with those of ITO and single-component nanostructured networks. The performance is compared to that expected from bulk thin films and analyzed in terms of the copercolation model. In addition, performance characteristics relevant for flexible and transparent applications are discussed. The new TCEs are promising, but significant work must be done to ensure earth abundance, stability, and reliability so that they can eventually replace traditional ITO-based transparent conductors.

“…Xu et al [46] reported the use of graphene/silver nanowire hybrid films as electrodes for transparent and flexible acoustic device, in which the grain boundaries in graphene are bridged by AgNWs and the empty spaces in AgNWs network are filled by graphene. The presented properties are better than ITO with a sheet resistances as low as 16Ω/m and a high optical transparency of 91.1% at 550nm.…”

In this study, we report for the first time on the convection phenomenon for the consistent and sensitive detection of target materials (particulate matter (PM) or gases) with a high-performance transparent heater. The high-performance transparent heater, based on Pt-decorated Ni micromesh, was fabricated by a combination of transfer printing process and Pt sputtering. The resulting transparent heater exhibited excellent mechanical durability, adhesion with substrates, flexibility, and heat-generating performance. We monitored the changes in the PM concentration and temperature in an airtight chamber while operating the heater. The temperature in the chamber was increased slightly, and the PM2.5 concentration was increased by approximately 50 times relative to the initial state which PM is deposed in the chamber. We anticipate that our experimental findings will aid in the development and application of heaters for sensors and actuators as well as transparent electrodes and heating devices.
