Abstract Transparent Silver nanowire (AgNW) electrodes have been widely explored in many applications as a promising alternative to relatively expensive indium tin oxide (ITO). For these applications, high contact resistance at the junctions of AgNWs is a main problem to be solved. In this letter, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-self-assembled method has been demonstrated to improve the optoelectronic performance of AgNW films. The sheet resistance of this novel AgNW film is measured as low as 13.2 Ω/sq, and the transmittance is high to 86.1%. Self-assembled AuNPs can enrich the percolation paths between AgNWs with negligible loss of optical properties, thereby realizing the excellent optoelectronic performance of AgNW films. Moreover, no extra post-treatment procedures are needed for the fabrication process. All these advantages indicate this method has great potentials for achieving high performance transparent electrodes in emerging optoelectronic devices.
