研究目的
To develop flexible transparent electrodes for organic electronic devices that offer low resistance, high transparency, and a smooth surface, and to demonstrate their application in organic photovoltaic devices.
研究成果
The study successfully developed high-performance flexible transparent electrodes using a water-processed AgNW suspension with PSSNa. These electrodes demonstrated excellent optoelectric properties, film uniformity, smoothness, and flexibility. Organic photovoltaic devices fabricated with these electrodes showed performance comparable to those based on commercial rigid electrodes, with flexible single-junction and tandem devices achieving power conversion efficiencies of 13.1% and 16.5%, respectively. The strategy could also be applied to other flexible organic electronic devices and conducting filler materials.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the trade-off between conductivity and transmittance in AgNW-based flexible transparent electrodes and the challenge of achieving a perfectly grid-like pattern due to shear forces and surface tension during film formation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized a water-dispersed homogeneous suspension of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSSNa) as a polyelectrolyte to create flexible transparent electrodes (FlexAgNEs). The approach relied on ionic electrostatic charge repulsion among the AgNWs.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
AgNWs with an average length of ~25 μm and diameter of ~25 nm were used. The electrodes were fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a spin coater, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and spectrophotometers. Materials included AgNWs, PSSNa, and various donors and acceptors for the organic photovoltaic devices.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The PET substrate was treated with ultraviolet ozone before spin-coating the AgNW suspension. The FlexAgNEs were then used to fabricate organic photovoltaic devices with different types of donors and acceptors.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the FlexAgNEs and photovoltaic devices was evaluated using sheet resistance measurements, transmittance spectra, and current density-voltage (J-V) curves.
