Transparent electrodes are essential elements of devices bearing a screen or display, as well as solar cells, LEDs etc. To overcome the drawbacks presented by indium tin oxide, nanomaterials have been proposed for a long time as alternatives. Metal nanowires are particularly interesting for their high intrinsic electrical conductivity. Copper nanowires have attracted wide interest due to the low cost and high abundancy of the starting material. However, they are easily oxidized thus suitable strategies must be devised to prevent it. This review discusses the fundamental properties and challenges of copper nanowires, focusing on the efforts made to make them longer and thinner then the strategies to prevent oxidation and to join them in the network are presented. After that, mechanical properties are summarized and applications are presented, before conclusions and perspectives are finally given.

ABSTRACTOrganic thin film photovoltaic (PV) cells have attracted attention because of their ease of fabrication and potential for low cost production. In this paper, we study the effects of chemical modification of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) on the performance of organic PV cells. The organic PV cells are fabricated, with the cell configuration of ITO/copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) (20 nm)/fullerene (C60) (40 nm)/Al with and without bathocuproine (BCP) (10 nm) between C60 and Al. By the use of para-substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides with different terminal groups of H- and Cl-, the energy offset at the ITO/CuPc interface is tuned widely depending upon the interface dipoles and thus the correlation between the change in the ITO work function and the performance of the PV cells by chemical modification is examined.

AISI 316L is widely used for implantation in orthopedic surgery due to its good corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and low cost. However, AISI 316L is not well suited for biocompatibility with the body, so implant material with AISI 316L can’t be used for a long time. One way to improve the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of AISI 316L is to perform a surface treatment such as sputtering. This study discusses the effect of deposition sputtering TiN of 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes on roughness and surface hardness at a ratio of argon gas and nitrogen to 80% Ar:20% N2. The results of the surface roughness value of the TiN sputtering layer deposited to AISI 316L for 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes were 0.02 μm, 0.04 μm, 0.06 μm, and 0.04 μm respectively. This shows that the coating time of TiN in AISI 316L has no significant influence on value of surface roughness. Surface hardness results at 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes were obtained with 268 HVN, 275 HVN, 278 HVN and 282 HVN. Increased hardness value, as the TiN thin layer has a higher hardness value compared to AISI 316L. The longer the deposition time, the more layers are formed and the layer becomes thicker. With the thickness of the layer, the density at the grain boundary increases. Because the higher density leads to grain growth, in which form micropores.

We report the formation of gold nanoparticles on indium tin oxide conducting glass (ITO) surface via electrodeposition method at room temperature. The prepared nano-Au electrodes has been fabricated for sensitive detection of Pb2+, and showed highly selective response toward Pb2+. The electrochemical detection of Pb2+ were determined by differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV). The nano-Au electrochemical sensor could detect Pb2+ from 0.5 to 10 μM with detection limits of 0.06 μM (S/N= 3) and sensitivity of 0.27996 mA μM−1. The proposed sensor is simple, reliable, sensitive, selective, and low-cost, thus holds potential for practical application in Pb2+ detection.

Percolating Network

There has been lately a growing interest into flexible, efficient and low-cost transparent electrodes which can be integrated for many applications. This includes several applications related to energy technologies (photovoltaics, lighting, supercapacitor, electrochromism, etc.) or displays (touch screens, transparent heaters, etc.) as well as Internet of Things (IoT) linked with renewable energy and autonomous devices. This associated industrial demand for low-cost and flexible industrial devices is rapidly increasing, creating a need for a new generation of transparent electrodes (TEs). Indium tin oxide has so far dominated the field of TE, but indium’s scarcity and brittleness have prompted a search into alternatives. Metallic nanowire (MNW) networks appear to be one of the most promising emerging TEs. Randomly deposited MNW networks, for instance, can present sheet resistance values below 10 Ω/sq., optical transparency of 90% and high mechanical stability under bending tests. AgNW or CuNW networks are destined to address a large variety of emerging applications. The main properties of MNW networks, their stability and their integration in energy devices are discussed in this contribution.
