Silver Nanowires: From Scalable Synthesis to Recyclable Foldable Electronics
A scalable preparation method for high-quality silver nanowires (Ag NWs), which can be used as the electrical circuits for a broad spectrum of ultralow-cost, recyclable, foldable electronics, is presented. Paper-based radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, light-emitting diode (LED) chip arrays, and 3D origami electrical devices are synthesized. The signal transmittance and biodecomposition of the RFID tags are investigated.
