　　报告摘要： 

　　Recently, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have been widely studied for various electronic devices applications owing to their excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. The main challenge in developing highly conductive Ag NWs networks is the large junction resistance originating from the weak NW contacts. Herein, we demonstrated that conduction of Ag NWs junction can be modulated for various applications, from transparent electrodes to memory selectors, supercapacitor electrodes, and electro-catalysts.  

　　First, we demonstrated a novel concept based on the combination of ultraviolet/ozone irradiation and a low-temperature annealing process to effectively utilize and control the fragmentation behaviour to realize memory selector functions.  

　　Furthermore, we reported a simple method to combine ultrathin nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) nanosheets (NSs) and Ag NWs as a composite for transparent electrode and all-solid-state supercapacitor applications. In particular, the   Ag NW/Ni(OH)₂ NS composite was designed for all-solid-state flexible supercapacitors with a high specific capacitance, moderate cycle stability and good mechanical flexibility. 

　　Finally, a bifunctional catalytic material which consists of an outer shell of NiFe-layered double hydroxides and a core spine of Ag NWs was fabricated by one step hydrothermal method.  By introducing the Ag NWs as a support material and ion transport channel, the onset potential and over-potential have been significantly decreased. The enhancement of catalytic performance could be attributed to the fast electron transport rate and synergistic effect induced by Ag and its oxidized state.
