Electrical, morphological, and electromagnetic interference shielding properties of silver nanowires and nanoparticles conductive composites

► High electrical conductive films were prepared by blending silver nanowires (AgNws). ► The silver loading in the conductive film was reduced significantly by adding AgNws. ► Adding AgNws made conductive film more stable due to continuous binding structure. ► AgNws showed better efficiency in EMI shielding than silver nanoparticles (AgNps). ► Silver loading was reduced 4 times by adding AgNws than by AgNps when EMI SE >99%.
