Uniform Self‐Forming Metallic Network as a High‐Performance Transparent Conductive Electrode

Abstract

A transparent, conductive, and flexible electrode is demonstrated. It is based on an inexpensive and easily manufacturable metallic network formed by depositing metals onto a template film. This electrode shows excellent electro-optical properties, with the figure of merit ranging from 300 to 700, and transmittance from 82% (~4.3 Ω sq–1) to 45% (~0.5 Ω sq–1).
