Recently, advances in nano-materials research have opened the door for various transparent conductive materials, which include CNTs, graphene, Ag and Cu nanowires, printable metal grids. Among them, nanowires are particularly interesting to synthesize because bulk exhibits highest electrical conductivity among all metals. We tried with a small diameter long length, resulting large aspect ratios. For synthesis of effects experimental parameters, i.e., reaction time synthesis, molar ratio source surfactant, weight surfactant were investigated physical shape synthesized products. The nanowire suspensions formulated bar coating method Meyer rod was used fabricate film on glass substrate. thinnest wet coating, layer 90.6% transmittance at 550 nm light wavelength 66 ohm/sq sheet resistance could be obtained, while 13 achieved 76%.
