TiO2-Coated Core-Shell Ag Nanowire Networks for Robust and Washable Flexible Transparent Electrodes
摘要： Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are the most promising materials to fabricate flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) used in next-generation electronics. However, there are several bottlenecks for AgNWs-based FTEs to achieve large-scale applications, which are the thermal instability and rough surface topography of AgNWs and the poor interfacial adhesion between AgNWs and used substrate. To simultaneously address these aforementioned issues, a robust and washable FTE is prepared based on AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network embedding in polyimide (PI) substrate through a facile and scalable solution-based process. After treating with TiO2 sol, an ultra-thin, conformal, and continuous TiO2 shell is coated on AgNWs, which can effectively suppress the atomic surface diffusion. In comparison with pristine AgNW network that breaks into nanorods and nanospheres at 250 °C for 10 min, the AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network is stable at 300 °C, and its resistance just increases by a factor of 11 after annealing at 400 °C for 1 h. Furthermore, the TiO2 shell simultaneously increases the electrical and optical properties of AgNW network. After flowing PI precursors, drying, and thermally curing, the AgNW@TiO2 core-shell network is embedded on the surface of PI substrate with surface roughness of 1.9 nm. In addition to high thermal stability, the conductivity of the AgNWs@TiO2-PI composite FTE remains almost unchanged after repeated 3M tape peeling off cycles and mechanical bending cycles. It is also demonstrated that the AgNWs@TiO2-PI composite FTE is washable, and the relative change in resistance (?R/R0) is ~12% after 100 washing cycles in which a variety of stress situations occurring in combination.

High Performance Flexible Transparent Electrode via Onea??Step Multifunctional Treatment for Ag Nanonetwork Composites Semia??Embedded in Lowa??Temperaturea??Processed Substrate for Highly Performed Organic Photovoltaics
摘要： For ideal flexible transparent electrodes, the features of good electrical/optical properties, low surface roughness, efficient charge transportation, robust electrical stability under simultaneously continuous operation bias, and mechanical bending are critical. Herein, a flexible transparent electrode fulfilling all these features is demonstrated by silver (Ag) nanonetwork composites semi-embedded in low-temperature-processed colorless polyimide (cPI), which shows a figure of merit over 1000 (5.4 Ω sq?1 sheet resistance and >94% diffused transmission at 550 nm wavelength), extremely smooth topography (<1 nm root-mean-square roughness and <3 nm peak-to-valley roughness), remarkable bending stability under continuous operation bias, and increased work function favoring the band alignment with typical charge transport layers for efficient devices. These characteristics are attributed to one-step multifunctional chemical treatment on the composite of Ag nanowires and an example polymer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). The strategic one-step process simultaneously offers selective welding at nanowires cross junctions to form an Ag nanonetwork, and removing polyvinylpyrrolidone surfactant from Ag nanowires and PSS from PEDOT:PSS. The flexible electrode also favors the residue-free cPI transfer for applications. Flexible organic solar cells (OSCs) made from the electrode achieve an averaged power conversion efficiency of 14.46% (best, 15.12%), which is the best flexible OSCs reported so far.

Propriedades de filmes finos de ZnO:Al depositados sobre substratos de poliimida à temperatura ambiente para aplica??es em dispositivos optoeletr?nicos flexíveis
摘要： This work investigated the properties of ZnO:Al thin films produced by radio frequency magnetron sputtering onto polyimide substrates for use as flexible electrodes in optoelectronic devices. For comparison purposes, films were also grown on soda lime glass. The films were deposited with different working powers, onto substrates kept at room temperature. The effects of the power and thickness on the optical, electrical and structural properties of the films were investigated. Atomic force microscopy images revealed that the films were nanocrystalline, with low surface roughness. Values of sheet resistance and transmittance in the visible range were 8 ?/sq (corresponding to 6x10-4 W.cm) and 75%, respectively, which can be considered satisfactory, particularly taking into consideration that deposition was carried out at room temperature.
