Abstract

Metallic nanostructures have played an important role in electronic and optoelectronic devices. This chapter summarizes the related progress with a focus on metallic nanowires. We first outline the fabrication of transparent conductive electrodes with silver nanowires and copper nanowires, followed by various methods to improve their performance in electronic devices. We then discuss another perspective of metallic nanowires—plasmonic waveguiding that can be potentially implemented in optoelectronic devices and can overcome limitation of traditional electronic circuits in the era of “big data”. In this section, light coupling as well as plasmon propagation in silver nanowire waveguides and functional parts of nanophotonic circuits are overviewed. At the end, a few well-established protocols for synthesizing metallic nanowires are presented, allowing the readers to further explore the related research.
