Formulation of Silver Nanowire-Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrid Transparent Electrodes by Using Catechol-functionalized Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)
A highly conductive and optically transparent silver nanowire-reduced graphene oxide (AgNW-RGO) hybrid film with enhanced adhesion property was formulated by incorporating chemical embedment of AgNWs on RGO sheets. Use of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) quaternized with catechol moieties accomplished both mussel-inspired functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) together with significant N-Ag bonding with AgNW, reducing the junction resistance between AgNW and RGO through embodiment.
