The invention discloses a
copper nanowire preparation method and a
copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film. According to the
copper nanowire preparation method, initial raw materials including water, octadecylamine,
metal copper salt and
vitamin C are adopted to prepare a copper nanowire of which the
diameter ranges from 40 to 100 nm, of which the length ranges from 40 to 150 microns and of which the surface is smooth. The copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film comprises an upper
polymethyl methacrylate layer, a copper nanowire layer, a lower
polymethyl methacrylate layer and a transparent substrate which are distributed from top to bottom sequentially; the light
transmittance of the copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film ranges from 40% to 90%; the square resistance of the copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film ranges from 5 to 200
ohm / cm<2>; and the
surface roughness of the copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film ranges from 15 to 100 nm. The copper nanowire preparation method of the invention is low in cost and simple in process, and can produce super long
copper nanowires in a batched manner. According to the copper nanowire composite transparent conductive thin film of the invention, a double-layer
polymethyl methacrylate structure is adopted, and therefore, adhesion between acopper nanowire grid and a substrate can be improved, the
surface roughness of the copper nanowire grid can be decreased, contact area between the
copper nanowires is increased, and the
copper nanowires can be insulated from the air, so that the copper nanowires can be prevented from being oxidized, and the
conductivity and stability of the thin film can be improved.
