Cost-effective materials for transparent conducting electrodes are essential for many devices used in clean energy production and consumer electronics. Here we report a technique for non-lithographic patterning of silver nanowires on flexible substrates from solution via microcontact transfer printing using donor substrates with reconfigurable topography. This approach is a highly scalable fabrication strategy for high performance transparent conductors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
