Abstract  Research funded by NSF CMMI  UNH Chemical Engineering Department  Faculty Advisor Professor Xiawei Teng and Dale Barkey  Graduate Student Wenxin Du  Collaborators  Don Banfield, Conductive Compounds, Inc.  Dr. Dong Su, Brookhaven National Laboratory, TEM measurement  Nancy Cherim, University of New Hampshire Instrumentation Center, TEM and EDS  Kylee Korte; Sara Skrabalak; and Younan Xia. J. Mater. Chem. 2008, 18, Ag Nanowire Structure  Lower contact-resistance  Higher conductivity by one-dimensional infinitely long structures that increase electron current flow  Narrower Ag ink gridline width reduces shading effect Cost and Labor Efficiency  Nanostructures maintain the same conductivity, but with less material than larger structures  Scale-up production gives more yield of Ag over time Solution Phase Reaction  Simple and rapid synthesis of Ag nanowires  Controlled addition of reagents via pipettes; preventing quick supersaturation of Ag seeds in the reaction media leads to higher Ag yield Synthesis Conclusion & Future Work Acknowledgements Reference Results Introduction Proposed Solution  Ethylene glycol (EG) used as both solvent and reducing agent  Inert Argon gas applied to maximize product purity  Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)(PVP) used as surfactant (stabilizer)  Cu additive (CuCl 2 ) used to reduce the amount of free Ag cations during initial seeding and to remove oxygen from the surface of the formed seeds Successful Solution Phase Synthesis  Separation of product from phase solution  Scale-up production to1x, 2x, and 3x  Obtained 1 mg Ag nanowires / mL solution Next Steps  Investigate over 10x scale-up production in batch reactor  Lower labor cost and improve time efficiency by using continuous reactor To synthesize Ag nanowires by solution phase scale-up production that is applicable towards use in printed electronics. Research Goal Procedure Silicon (Si) Solar Panel  A photovoltaic (PV) cell consisting of Si crystalline structures which converts solar energy into electricity  Ag used in conductive electronics as electrical contact to pick up and transport electrons Current Disadvantages  “Metallization” is a major efficiency-limiting and cost- determining step in solar cell processing.  Poor contact quality, wide spacing, and large width of powdered Ag ink gridlines Oil bath 15 mL EG CuCl M PVP 150 °C 60 min 150 °C 15 min 150 °C 70 min M AgNO 3 Ag Nanowires Increased demand for energy, coupled with high energy costs and environmental factors, makes solar energy a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Silicon solar panels account for 90% of the PV market which converts solar energy to electricity; but is neither cost- nor energy- efficient, especially pertaining to the Ag contact metal. A proposed solution phase scale-up production of Ag in the form of nanowires was successfully achieved to increase the efficiency of Ag for solar panels and printed electronics. Courtesy of Dr. X.W. Teng (a) 1x(b) 2x(c) 3x TEM Images of Ag Nanowires  Scale-up production to1x, 2x, and 3x  Particle impurities  The diameters of the resulting nanowires were ranging from 30 nm to 70 nm  The lengths of the resulting nanowires were ranging from 0.5 to 5 um.
