Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Optoelectronics

Background:

  • Transparent conductors (TCs) are crucial for flexible electronics.
  • Existing silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks face limitations in conductivity and transparency.
  • Microscale silver grids offer potential for improved optoelectrical properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop high-performance multiscale metallic transparent conductors (TCs).
  • To integrate silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks with microscale silver grids.
  • To enhance the optoelectrical properties of TCs for applications like flexible solar cells.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of highly conductive Ag grids using reservoir-assisted direct imprinting of Ag ion ink.
  • Incorporation of microscale Ag grids into Ag NW networks to create multiscale metallic TCs.
  • Characterization of sheet resistance (Rs) and transmittance (T) at 550 nm.
  • Transfer and embedding of TCs into a flexible polymer matrix.

Main Results:

  • Multiscale metallic TCs achieved Rs < 1.5 Ω/sq and T = 86% at 550 nm.
  • Performance significantly surpassed standalone Ag NW networks (Rs = 15.6 Ω/sq).
  • Geometrical calculations confirmed enhanced optoelectrical properties through Ag grid integration.
  • Embedded TCs demonstrated reasonable electromechanical and chemical stability.

Conclusions:

  • Multiscale metallic TCs offer superior performance compared to conventional Ag NW networks.
  • The reservoir-assisted imprinting method enables efficient fabrication of conductive Ag grids.
  • These TCs are suitable for integration into flexible devices, as shown by their use in flexible organic solar cells.
