Corrigendum to “Enhancement of electrical and thermal properties of silver nanowire transparent conductive electrode by Ag coating” [Mater. Sci. Eng. B 278 (2022) 115640]
Abstract
In this study, Ag nanowires (AgNWs) were synthesized by the polyol method at 160 °C under nitrogen atmosphere. AgNW transparent conductive electrodes (TCE) were fabricated on a glass slide, and an Ag layer was coated onto the AgNWs to improve their electrical and thermal properties. The AgNWs had diameters in the range of 25–54 nm, aspect ratio up to 1000 and high yield (>90%) when used with the mixture of halide ions Cl− and Br−. After coating an Ag layer on the surface of AgNW of TCEs by electrodeposition, the electrical and thermal properties was improved significantly. The sheet resistance decreased from ∼247 Ω/□ to approximately 10 Ω/□ and the thermal stability was improved by 20 °C in comparison with bare AgNW TCEs. The best sample was observed at an electrodepositing current of 1 mA for 40 s; the sheet resistance, transmittance, and figure of merit of this sample were ∼8.5 Ω/□, 85.4%, and 271 Ω−1, respectively.
