  • Patterning silver nanowire network via the Gibbs–Thomson effect

    Patterning silver nanowire network via the Gibbs–Thomson effect

    The invisible AgNW pattern is achieved through selective fragmentation of an AgNW network via the Gibbs–Thomson effect at a low temperature (down to 75 °C). Figure 1a–c illustrates the GTE-based patterning procedure for AgNWs. This…
