AlGaInP LED with low-speed spin-coating silver nanowires as transparent conductive layer

Abstract

The low-speed spin-coating method was developed to prepare uniform and interconnected silver nanowires (AgNWs) film with the transmittance of 95% and sheet resistance of 20Ω/sq on glass, which was comparable to ITO. The fitting value of σ dc/σ op of 299.3 was attributed to the spin-coating process. Advantages of this solution-processed AgNW film on AlGaInP light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as transparent conductive layer were explored. The optical output power enhanced 100%, and the wavelength redshift decreased from 12 to 3 nm, which indicated the AgNW films prepared by low-speed spin-coating possessed attractive features for large-scale TCL applications in optoelectronic devices.
