Flexible transparent conducting composite films using a monolithically embedded AgNW electrode with robust performance stability

Abstract

We report on the performance of an all-in-one flexible hybrid conducting film employing a monolithically embedded AgNW transparent electrode and a high-performance glass-fabric reinforced composite substrate (AgNW–GFRHybrimer film). Specifically, we perform in-depth investigations on the stability of the AgNW–GFRHybrimer film against heat, thermal oxidation, and wet chemicals to demonstrate the potential of the hybrid conducting film as a robust electrode platform for thin-film optoelectronic devices. With the ease of large-area processability, smooth surface topography, and robust performance stability, the AgNW–GFRHybrimer film can be a promising platform for high-performance optoelectronic devices.
