Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, the thermal stability of silver nanowires alone is not ideal. Usually, when the temperature exceeds 160°C, the silver nanowires will be destroyed, and the 1D structure cannot be well maintained.
In the existing technology, the main idea to solve the stability problem of silver nanowires is to coat a layer of oxide on the surface of silver wires, such as ZnO, etc., but this technology needs to use more expensive equipment and the process is more complicated , and takes a long time
