Abstract
Nano-material refers to small particles with a size within 100nm. It has received widespread attention from many industries because of its different performances of the light, electricity, heat and other industries that are different from conventional materials. In recent years, new nanomaterials such as AgNWs and graphene have attracted considerable attention worldwide due to their extremely high electrical conductivity and light transmission. However, AgNWs are less stable and graphene is less homogeneous in terms of resistance; thus, improving the performance by hybridizing the two composites has become a major research goal. In this paper, the synthesis methods of graphene and graphene/AgNWs composites are presented, and various properties of the composites, such as electrical conductivity, flexibility, and stress-strain capability, are also presented. The comparative analysis of these properties concludes that the excellent properties of graphene/silver nanowire composites have great potential for development and still need to be explored continuously.
