Welding Silver Nanowire Junctions for Transparent Conducting Films by a Rapid Electroplating Method.

A simple electrochemical method is developed in this study to weld the contact points in silver nanowire (AgNW) thin films. The AgNW thin film is first fabricated by spray coating and then submerged in a silver plating solution. By applying electrical potential over the AgNW thin films, silver ions in the plating solution are reduced into silver nanoparticles preferentially over nanowires and solder the nanomesh structures.

Attitudes to climate change, perceptions of disaster risk, and mitigation and adaptation behavior in Yunlin County, Taiwan.

Issues that are associated with climate change have global importance. Most related studies take a national or regional perspective on the impact of climate change. Taiwan is constrained by its geographical conditions, which increase its vulnerability to climate change, especially in its western coastal areas.
