“…Figure 8 shows the PAEK-dnAg samples perform excellent hydrolysis-oxidation stability during testing in boiling water up to 12 h. The PAEK-dnAg samples endure much harsher testing condition than some reported AgNW-embedded-structure samples, [24,27] of which the test condition is in 15-40% lower temperature and 10-15% lower relative humidity than that in this work.…”

To improve both thermal stability and friction durability of flexible electronic films with nano‐Ag, a series of flexible films with dendric nano‐Ag embedded into high thermally stable 2‐adamantane containing poly(aryl ether ketone) (2‐ADMPEK, PAEK) substrates are prepared in this work. These films are named as PAEK‐dnAg. The dendric nanostructure of Ag conductive layer performs excellent conductivity with sheet resistance as low as 0.3959 Ω ◻−1. The wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM) results show dendric nano‐Ag layer well incorporated to PAEK substrates. The results of thermal stability, hydrolysis–oxidation test, adhesion test, and friction durability indicate the PAEK substrate can effectively protect dendric nanosilver conductive layer from heat, harsh oxidation, and friction. The SEM images further show the dendric embedded structure can remain almost unchanged after high temperature (400 °C) heating in air, water boiling oxidation for 12 h, 2500‐cycle 3M tape peeling test, and harsh friction with sanding paper under 5 N, which should lead to the excellent durability of PAEK‐dnAg samples in harsh condition. Thus, PAEK‐dnAgs may show great potential in flexible electronic films application for harsh condition such as high temperature, hydrothermal environment or high friction.

Transparent glass with metal mesh is considered a promising strategy for high performance transparent glass heaters (TGHs). However, the realization of simple, low‐cost manufacture of high performance TGHs still faces great challenges. Here, a technique for the fabrication of high performance TGHs is proposed using liquid sacrificial substrate electric‐field‐driven (LS‐EFD) microscale 3D printing of thick film silver paste. The liquid sacrificial substrate not only significantly improves the aspect ratio (AR) of silver mesh, but also plays a positive role in printing stability. The fabricated TGHs with a line width of 35 µm, thickness of 12.3 µm, and pitch of 1000 µm exhibit a desirable optoelectronic performance with sheet resistance (Rs) of 0.195 Ω sq−1 and transmittance (T) of 88.97%. A successful deicing test showcases the feasibility and practicality of the manufactured TGHs. Moreover, an interface evaporator is developed for the coordination of photothermal and electrothermal systems based on the high performance TGHs. The vapor generation rate of the device reaches 10.69 kg m−2 h−1 with a voltage of 2 V. The proposed technique is a promising strategy for the cost‐effective and simple fabrication of high performance TGHs.

“…Nonetheless, the rough surface of FTO raises issues, such as short circuits and leakage current, which reduce device efficiency. [100] Recently, novel materials, such as conductive polymers, [101,102] graphene, [103][104][105][106] CNTs, [107,108] transparent conductive oxides, [109] and metal nanowires, [110][111][112] have emerged as promising replacements for the traditional ITO and FTO transparent conductive electrodes, due to their high optical transmittance in the visible range and competitive electrical conductivity. Among these materials, graphene and its derivatives have attracted enormous research interest due to their low cost, nontoxicity, easy availability, superior stability, greater mechanical flexibility, and large specific surface area.…”

Recent advancements in technology have inevitably led to a significant increase in the global energy demand, whose traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy, are failing to meet needs due to their nonrenewable nature and consequent depletion. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, fossil fuels and nuclear energy are major sources of environmental pollution, which is responsible for unfavorable global warming and climate change. [7][8][9] Hence, there has been considerable research interest in sustainable and renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, due to its natural abundance and environmentally friendly nature. [10][11][12] In this regard, solar energy is most commonly converted into electricity by making use of the first-generation solar cells, i.e., crystalline silicon solar cells, that are now commercially available, with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of above 26% [13,14] and superior environmental stability. [15] However, the largescale production of silicon-based solar cells is restricted by their high production cost, complicated fabrication procedures, rigidity, [16,17] and PCE, which is almost close to the theoretical limit of %29.4%. [18] As a result, the second-generation solar cells, i.e., thin-film solar cells, such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cells, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cells, and cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells, [19][20][21] and the third-generation solar cells, such as organic solar cells (OSCs), perovskite solar cells (PSCs), and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), [22][23][24][25][26][27] have been developed by using simple and low-cost fabrication procedures. Among these, the thirdgeneration solar cells have gained significant research attention due to an abundance of low-cost materials, solution processability, flexibility, lightweight, environmental friendliness, and ease of scaling-up. [28][29][30][31][32] Interestingly, PSCs are a rising star owing to their recent breakthrough in PCE, which has shown a rapid increase from 3.8% in 2009 [33,34] to %25.5% for the current state-of-the-art PSCs. [35] The superior performance of PSCs is mainly attributed to the exceptional properties of metal halide perovskites, including the large absorption coefficient, direct and tunable bandgap, low exciton binding energy at room temperature, ambipolar charge transport characteristics, high charge carrier mobility, slow recombination kinetics, and long electron-hole diffusion length. [36][37][38][39][40][41] Thus, metal halide perovskites are emerging semiconductor materials, described by the general formula of ABX 3 , where A is a monovalent cation, such as methylammonium (CH 3 NH 3 þ ; MA), formamidinium (CH 3 (NH 2 ) 2 þ ; FA), caesium (Cs þ ), or rubidium (Rb þ ); B is a divalent metal cation, such as lead (Pb 2þ ), tin (Sn 2þ ), or germanium (Ge 2þ ); and X is a halide anion, such as iodide (I À ), bromide (Br À ), or chloride (Cl À ).
