Abstract
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) were decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using a facile spraying/dip-coating method so that the AgNW@AuNP film was fabricated as a promising alternative to conventional ITO film. The AgNW@AuNP film shows a network structure with AuNPs (<10 nm) decoration on the surface of AgNWs. This novel film exhibits excellent thermal stability (∼350 °C) due to the suppressed atom migration on silver surface, and a low sheet resistance of 8.1 Ω/□ with just an absorbance incensement less than 6% compared to bare AgNW film. The films have potential applications as transparent conductive materials for optoelectronic and photoelectrochemical devices in harsh environment.
