The optoelectrical properties of Ag nanowire (NW) networks are improved by incorporating the NWs into highly conductive ordered arrays of Ag nanoparticle wires (NPWs) fabricated via surfactant-assisted convective self-assembly. The NPW-NW hybrid conductor displays a transmittance (T) of 90% at 550 nm and a sheet resistance (R-s) of 5.7 sq(-1), which is superior to the corresponding properties of the NW network showing a R-s of 14.1 sq(-1) at a similar T. By the modified wettability of a donor substrate and the capillarity of water, the sintered NPW-NW hybrid conductors are perfectly transferred onto an UV-curable photopolymer film, and the embedded hybrid conductors exhibit excellent electromechanical properties. The R-s and T of the NPW arrays can be predicted by using a simple model developed to calculate the width and height of the hexagonal close-packed particles formed during the convective self-assembly. The numerical analysis reveals that the maximum Haacke figure of merit of the NW networks is increased considerably from 0.0260 to 0.0407 (-1) by integration with the NPW array. The highly conductive NPW arrays generated using a simple, low-cost, and nonlithographic process can be applied to enhancing the performances of other transparent conductors, such as carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, and graphenes.
