    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Optoelectronics

    Background:

    • Transparent flexible electrodes (TFEs) are crucial for next-generation optoelectronic devices.
    • Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a common TFE material but lacks flexibility due to its brittleness.
    • Advancements in TFEs are needed to meet the demands of complex and flexible electronic applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate electrospinning-based polymer masks as a low-cost method for nanopatterning TFEs.
    • To compare nanotrough and nanoline masking approaches for fabrication practicality and electrode performance.
    • To develop flexible, high-performance TFEs as a viable alternative to brittle ITO.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized electrospinning to create polymer random masks for nanopatterning.
    • Employed magnetron sputtering for depositing silver (Ag) onto nanopatterned substrates.
    • Fabricated and characterized TFEs using nanotrough and nanoline masking techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved high luminous transmittance (>80%) and low sheet resistance (<50 Ω/sq) in Ag-based TFEs.
    • Demonstrated excellent mechanical flexibility and bending resistance compared to standard ITO electrodes.
    • Validated the effectiveness of electrospun polymeric masks for scalable TFE fabrication.

    Conclusions:

    • Electrospun polymeric masks provide a scalable and cost-effective alternative for producing high-performance TFEs.
    • The developed TFEs are suitable for flexible optoelectronic devices requiring both transparency and conductivity.
    • This approach overcomes the inherent brittleness limitations of conventional ITO electrodes.
