“…In our previous works, Ag nanowire films with sheet resistance as low as 60 Ω/sq and optical transmittance of about 90% were achieved using Ag nanowires with mean diameters of about 60 nm and lengths up to about 50 μm [13][14][15]. Ag nanowires are advantageous since they can be easily applied as a spray coat for glass windows that are already installed.…”

Automotive air conditioning (AAC) is essential, particularly in tropical countries like the Philippines, where temperatures can go beyond 40 °C during the summer. AAC system is installed for the comfort and safety of passengers. However, AAC may consume up to 30% of the fuel and increase fuel consumption by up to 20%. Consequently, increasing fuel consumption can lead to high costs and greenhouse emissions worldwide. Commercially available car tints can block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays but selectively block IR rays which primarily cause heating. Therefore, sustainable cooling solutions must be developed. This study developed a silver nanowire (AgNW)-PVB (polyvinyl butyral) composite spray coating. The coating decreased the transmittance by at least 30% in the UV region and at least 25% in the near-infrared (NIR). Average transmittance in the visible region (Vis) is as much as 63.50% which highly depends on the concentration of PVB and AgNWs. More AgNWs decrease the transmittance at UV, Vis, and NIR regions.

“…Metallic fillers, such as copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) nanowires, have been widely studied as conductive fillers in flexible electronic devices due to their high aspect ratio. Cu and Ag nanowires are ductile, highly conductive, and can form percolation networks even at low filler concentrations and large applied strains [1][2][3][4][5]. Ag, less abundant than Cu, is expensive [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Recently, copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) nanowires have been widely employed as conductive fillers in flexible electronic devices due to their high aspect ratios leading to the formation of conductive networks in a polymeric substrate. This study combined Cu and Ag as a 1-dimensional nanostructures through galvanic replacement with a core-shell configuration. The effects of the galvanic replacement factors on the Cu-Ag core-shell nanostructures morphology was studied by varying the reaction time, temperature, and Ag concentration. SEM images show a more extensive Cu dealloying and Kirkendall voiding with longer reaction times, resulting in the Cu core dissolution. Homogenous nucleation of Ag occurs at higher reaction temperatures and Ag concentrations, producing separate Ag particles.

“…Their findings regarding the role of PVP are diverse and based on different synthetic methods. The most agreed requirement to successfully synthesize AgNWs is the use of PVP with critical minimum molar masses which were 10 kDa, 13 40 kDa, 14 B50 kDa, [15][16][17][18] or even 1300 kDa. 19 Utilizing PVP of a lower M w leads to nanorods and nanoparticles of undefined shapes as the main or byproducts and no AgNWs or only in a low yield.…”
