“…Later, they soaked this film in a AgNO 3 precursor solution, which acted as an electrolyte, and the nanowires grew in the nanoscale channels of the polymer via electrodeposition. Organogels, which is a 3-D cross-linked matrix composition of liquid organic phase, especially stimuli-responsive gels, have wide variety of effective utilization in targeted drug-delivery systems and biomaterials [ 57 , 58 , 59 ].

One-dimensional metal nanowires, with novel functionalities like electrical conductivity, optical transparency and high mechanical stiffness, have attracted widespread interest for use in applications such as transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices and active components in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. In particular, silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been widely researched owing to the superlative thermal and electrical conductivity of bulk silver. Herein, we present a detailed review of the synthesis of AgNWs and their utilization in fabricating improved transparent conducting electrodes (TCE). We discuss a range of AgNW synthesis protocols, including template assisted and wet chemical techniques, and their ability to control the morphology of the synthesized nanowires. Furthermore, the use of scalable and cost-effective solution deposition methods to fabricate AgNW based TCE, along with the numerous treatments used for enhancing their optoelectronic properties, are also discussed.

“…Our group is interested in utilizing the properties of these gels to construct high-order templates to synthesize silver nanowires. Nguyen and Liu [35] fabricated silver nanowires based on a soft template of a cholesteryl pyridine carbamate organogel. For their synthesis, silver nanowires must be under high-temperature conditions; however, gels usually form in ambient environments.…”

Abstract. Supramolecular β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used as a soft template for the fabrication of long silver nanowires. A novel design using self-assembled β-CD for the reduction of silver ions was studied. The concentrations of iron chloride, silver nitrate, and the template were controlling factors for the growth of the silver nanowires. Iron chloride was used to accelerate and facilitate the formation of the silver nanowires and inhibit oxidative etching. However, an excessive concentration of Fe +3 resulted in etching of the silver nanostructures. Furthermore, the silver concentration was another controlling factor. The length of the silver nanowires increased as the concentration of silver cations increased. Nevertheless, an excess concentration of silver cations formed various silver crystalline structures. In this study, the optimal ratio between iron chloride and silver nitrate was determined to be 1:13.3. A maximum length of 20 μm was achieved using a concentration of 0.23 M for the soft template. Moreover, the junction of two growing silver nanowires was observed, forming a long fused nanowire, and some significant boundaries were observed. The observed results were further confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analyses were used to indicate the presence of silver and the formation of crystalline materials.

Owing to their compatibility with biology and large deformation, flexible electronics meet the demands for a wide range of applications that lie outside the capabilities of conventional rigid wafer‐based electronics. Devices such as solar cells, light‐emitting devices, touch screens, and wearable sensors have significantly advanced in recent years and changed human life. Flexible transparent electrodes are one of the most important components in flexible optoelectronic devices, collecting charges and transmitting light. Such electrodes based on silver nanowires (AgNWs), which exhibit superior mechanical flexibility, electrical and thermal conductivity, and optical transparency, are regarded as the most promising alternative to conventional indium tin oxide electrodes. However, some technical challenges, such as the uniformity and stability of AgNW networks, still exist and hinder the large‐scale commercialization of AgNW electrodes. Great efforts have been made in this field. A comprehensive survey of recent progress in flexible transparent AgNW electrodes in terms of performance criteria, material synthesis, fabrication process, performance enhancement, and future applications is provided. Finally, technical challenges and future trends are presented for the application of flexible transparent AgNW electrodes in flexible electronics.
