Pressure-assisted electrode fabrication using simply synthesized Cu3Sn alloy nanoparticles

Abstract

Alloy nanoparticles have been widely investigated due to their unique properties and various applications. In particular, electrodes based on alloy nanomaterials can be good alternatives for advanced electrode fabrication due to their inherent, unique properties. Herein, we suggest a simple one-pot synthesis of Cu₃Sn nanoparticles with high oxidation-resistivity, straightforward processability, and good electron conductivity. In addition, we introduce fabrication of pressure-assisted electrodes at room temperature with the synthesized Cu₃Sn nanoparticles, which have good potential for various functional devices on a plastic substrate.
