“…For a more facile, lithography-free demonstration of our mesoscale metal network design, we developed the electrospinning process to produce ultra-long copper mesoscale wires with B1 mm in diameter, which were used in conjunction with Ag nanowire networks developed previously by our group and others 2,14,31,32,38 . Electrospinning is a powerful technique to produce polymer wires with diameters ranging from sub-100 nm to few micrometres.…”

“…T ransparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) are essential components for numerous optoelectronic devices that require transport of both electrons and photons, including solar cells, displays, touch screens and smart windows [1][2][3][4][5] . Recently, there have been increasing efforts in developing nanomaterial TCEs including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) 1,[6][7][8][9] , graphene 4,[10][11][12][13] , metal nanowires [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and nanoparticles 22,23 to replace conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) films, in order to enable low-cost and mechanical flexibility while maintaining low sheet resistance (R s ) and high transmittance (T).…”

For transparent conducting electrodes in optoelectronic devices, electrical sheet resistance and optical transmittance are two of the main criteria. Recently, metal nanowires have been demonstrated to be a promising type of transparent conducting electrode because of low sheet resistance and high transmittance. Here we incorporate a mesoscale metal wire (1-5 mm in diameter) into metal nanowire transparent conducting electrodes and demonstrate at least a one order of magnitude reduction in sheet resistance at a given transmittance. We realize experimentally a hybrid of mesoscale and nanoscale metal nanowires with high performance, including a sheet resistance of 0.36 O sq À 1 and transmittance of 92%. In addition, the mesoscale metal wires are applied to a wide range of transparent conducting electrodes including conducting polymers and oxides with improvement up to several orders of magnitude. The metal mesowires can be synthesized by electrospinning methods and their general applicability opens up opportunities for many transparent conducting electrode applications.

Flexible and semitransparent organic solar cells (OSCs) have been regarded as the most promising photovoltaic devices for the application of OSCs in wearable energy resources and building‐integrated photovoltaics. Therefore, the flexible and semitransparent OSCs have developed rapidly in recent years through the synergistic efforts in developing novel flexible bottom or top transparent electrodes, designing and synthesizing high performance photoactive layer and low temperature processed electrode buffer layer materials, and device architecture engineering. To date, the highest power conversion efficiencies have reached over 10% of the flexible OSCs and 7.7% with average visible transmittance of 37% for the semitransparent OSCs. Here, a comprehensive overview of recent research progresses and perspectives on the related materials and devices of the flexible and semitransparent OSCs is provided.

“…[33][34][35] The latter material offers in theory inplane (ballistic) conductance, while being quite transparent due to their limited thickness. Also available are hybrid approaches that combine the properties of several material systems into a single functional electrode, [36][37][38][39] such as embedded metal nanowire networks in a dielectric matrix. Below, we consider three approaches that build on inorganic transparent electrodes developed in recent years, their fundamental properties, their fabrication processes, and their position in the market either as raw materials or utilized in commercial devices.…”

With the development of new generations of optoelectronic devices that combine high performance and novel functionalities (e.g., flexibility/bendability, adaptability, semi or full transparency), several classes of transparent electrodes have been developed in recent years. These range from optimized transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), which are historically the most commonly used transparent electrodes, to new electrodes made from nano‐ and 2D materials (e.g., metal nanowire networks and graphene), and to hybrid electrodes that integrate TCOs or dielectrics with nanowires, metal grids, or ultrathin metal films. Here, the most relevant transparent electrodes developed to date are introduced, their fundamental properties are described, and their materials are classified according to specific application requirements in high efficiency solar cells and flexible organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). This information serves as a guideline for selecting and developing appropriate transparent electrodes according to intended application requirements and functionality.
