Abstract

Silver and copper nanowires have been used in many areas, like sensors, catalysis, optoelectronics, etc. They are well-known by the excellent optoelectronic and chemical properties. Here in this chapter, some interesting aspects of these metal nanowires are reviewed, including: (i) the synthesis methods of the metal nanowires; (ii) application of these nanowires in transparent conductors; (iii) application of the transparent conductors in flexible optoelectronic devices, like solar cells, OLEDs, touch screens, transparent heaters, and so on. Besides the applications, this chapter also sheds light to some fundamental problems, including the coarsening dynamics of nanowires, corrosion and protection of nanowires, and also the conducting mechanism of the transparent conductors basing on nanowires. Finally, perspective is given.
