Abstract
In this paper, we report on the formation and rupture of Ag nanofilament on planar Ag/TiO(2)/Pt cells using visual observation. During the forming process, the filament tends to stay very thin. Specifically, it is so thin that it breaks up into a chain of nanospheres (according to Rayleigh instability) right after the formation has been completed. Similar mechanical breakup may also impact vertically stacked cells, causing reliability concerns.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
