Silver nanowire electrodes get a conductivity surge with new coating technique

Researchers at UNIST have unveiled a simple, yet effective method to replace the insulating coating—known as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)—that covers silver nanowires (AgNWs), enabling significantly better electrical conductivity and enhanced durability. This innovation paves the way for the development of flexible, foldable, and rollable electronic devices using AgNW transparent electrodes.
