“…This proves that GAA treatment could largely improve the performance of Cu NWs TCEs. Figure 5a shows the plot of the comparison of transmittance (%) vs sheet resistance (Ω/sq) of Cu NWs films of this work and previously reported works [27,48,57,58]. From the inset images of Figure 5a(i,ii), it can be seen that the film was clearer and brighter after GAA treatment was done.…”

“…Unfortunately, silver is scarce and highly priced, while ITO-based electrodes are brittle, expensive and not eco-friendly [25]. To study fundamental electrical and mechanical properties, Cu NWs with thin diameter and high aspect ratio have become an ideal material [26,27]. The great potential of Cu NWs-based transparent electrodes have been reported previously.…”

We report the microwave synthesis of copper nanowires (Cu NWs) by using alkylamine-mediated approach. Cu NWs with aspect ratio ~612 was successfully synthesized at 120 °C for 4 h. Purification process of Cu NWs was done via a simple and fast centrifugation method using water-hydrophobic organic solvent system. The effect of purification on the performance of the fabricated transparent conductive electrode (TCE) films was investigated. Purified Cu NWs TCE showed a low sheet resistance of 35 Ω/sq with high transparency of 81% (at λ550 nm). Glacial acetic acid (GAA) treatment was applied to the Cu NWs films to improve their conductivity and transmittance. The high conductivity of the Cu NWs TCE can be easily restored by using a quick GAA treatment.

“…[23,24] The long alkylamine surfactants also limit the heteronucleation of gold and thus interfere with utilizing the maturely optimized CuNW with high aspect ratio. [25,26] To obtain the CuAuNW with the desirable morphology, we employed HDA-based CuNW and replaced the surfactant with PVP to nucleate gold onto the CuNW surface (Figure 2a). The ligand exchange of the CuNW involves immersion of the prepared CuNWs in the high concentration of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-based PVP solution.…”

In spite of its excellent electrical, mechanical, and low‐cost characteristics, copper nanowire has fatal issues in the oxidation problem and the lack of biological compatibility, which occasionally outweighs its advantages and limits its usage as electronics or biodevice applications. In this study, a novel wet chemical synthesis method is developed for the oxidation‐free Cu–Au core–shell nanowire based on the prepared Cu nanowire with alkylamine‐mediated synthesis and ligand exchange. The synthesized Cu–Au core–shell nanowire exhibits improved electrical stability against thermal oxidation under the harsh environment of 80 °C and 80% relative humidity. Additionally, to substantiate suitability for the biomedical application, the enhanced chemical stability and biocompatibility are investigated by utilizing the artificial perspiration and the cell culture. As a proof‐of‐concept demonstration, high performance wearable electromyogram (EMG), electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors for electrophysiological monitoring with the Cu–Au core–shell nanowire electrode are demonstrated with superior oxidation‐resistance and biocompatibility even after the harsh environment test. The Cu–Au core–shell nanowire can provide promising, cost‐effective electrode materials for various wearable electronics applications.

“…could stabilize the volumetric strains more effectively, because of their small volume changes in comparison to thin films [51]. Although, synthesizing the nanostructures in large volume for industrial applications, due to their expensive and time consuming production methods such as: surfactant based techniques or self-assembling of 0D nanostructures [52][53][54], limited their application for Lithium-ion batteries' anodes productions. On the other hand, novel fabrication techniques such as electrodeposition methods (e.g.…”

Sn and its nanostructures are one of the promising candidates to replace graphite in the anode of Lithium-ion batteries due to their higher capacity. One of the challenges, which limited the usage of Sn anodes for the Lithium-ion batteries, is Tin's high volumetric strain and its low cyclability. On the other hand, nanostructures show lower volume change during charge/discharge and as a result could address the cyclability issues. In this research, an alternating current (AC) electrochemical method is developed in order to facilitate the industrial scale production of Sn nanowires. The developed electrodeposition technique shows reliable controllability over chemical composition and crystalline structure of Sn nanowires. Also, the order structure of nanowires could be adjusted more accurately in comparison to conventional fabrication techniques. As a result, the Sn nanowires as well as Aluminum Oxide templates synthesized by using the developed electrochemical method are examined due to their morphology, chemical composition, and their crystalline structure in order to develop a practical relation between electrochemical composition of the solution and materials properties of Sn nanowires. The results show that the proposed electrodeposition method maintains a highly-ordered morphology as well as industrially acceptable controllability over crystalline structure of nanowires, which could be used to optimize the procedure for industrial applications due to low cost and simple experimental setup.
