Transparent conductive coatings based on metal nanowires and polymer binders, solution processing thereof, and patterning approaches

Polymer binders, e.g., crosslinked polymer binders, have been found to be an effective film component in creating high quality transparent electrically conductive coatings or films comprising metal nanostructured networks. The metal nanowire films can be effectively patterned and the patterning can be performed with a high degree of optical similarity between the distinct patterned regions. Metal nanostructured networks are formed through the fusing of the metal nanowires to form conductive networks. Methods for patterning include, for example, using crosslinking radiation to pattern crosslinking of the polymer binder. The application of a fusing solution to the patterned film can result in low resistance areas and electrically resistive areas. After fusing the network can provide desirable low sheet resistances while maintaining good optical transparency and low haze. A polymer overcoat can further stabilize conductive films and provide desirable optical effects. The patterned films can be useful in devices, such as touch sensors.

Furthermore, the metal nanowires are useful as replacements for existing conductive materials, such as ITO, conductive polymers, carbon nanotubes and graphene. The metal nanowires can be applied to flexible substrates and other various substrates due to their good adhesion and high applicability to the substrates. Moreover, the metal nanowires can find application in various fields, such as displays and solar cell devices.

A hybrid transparent conductive film, and methods for fabricating such hybrid transparent conductive films, involving the assembly of two-dimensional graphene-based materials with one-dimensional silver and / or copper nanowires with high optical transmittance and good electrical conductivity. The hybrid films are characterized by a good degree of control of the architecture at the nanoscale level, where the weakness(es) of each component are offset by the strengths of the other components. By rational design of the structure and using simple and locate-cost fabrication methods, hybrid films with sheet resistance of 26 ohm / sq and optical transmittance (at λ=550 nm) of 83% for reduced graphene oxide / silver nanowire films, and 64 ohm / sq and optical transmittance of 93.6% for monolayer graphene / silver nanowire films have been fabricated. These values are comparable to transparent conductive films based on indium tin oxide but are now able to be used in flexible electronics due to their good mechanical properties.

Vapor phase synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanowires

Vapor phase methods for synthesizing metal nanowires directly without the help of templates. A vapor phase method in which nucleation and growth of metal oxides at temperatures higher than the oxide decomposition temperatures lead to the respective metal nanowires. The chemical vapor transport of tungsten in the presence of oxygen onto substrates kept at temperatures higher than the tungsten oxide decomposition temperature (˜1450° C.) led to nucleation and growth of pure metallic tungsten nanowires. In a similar procedure, tungsten oxide nanowires were synthesized by maintaining the substrates at a temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of tungsten oxide. The vapor transport of low-melting metal oxides provides a procedure for synthesizing metal and metal oxide nanowires.
