High performance solution processed transparent electrodes for optoelectronic devices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Many thin-film optoelectronic devices, including displays and photovoltaic cells, require transparent conducting films as part of their device architecture. Sputtered indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most commonly used material and has high performance but is expensive and has some performance limitations, especially on flexible substrates. This dissertation presents high-performance composite transparent conducting films comprised of silver nanowires and polymer films for use as a replacement for ITO in these devices. These composites have lower sheet resistance than ITO with comparable transmission on both glass and plastic substrates and are demonstrated in this work to be compatible with high-efficiency organic photovoltaic devices. They are also more mechanically robust to ITO and show nearly substrate-independent performance. These composites have the potential to enable both low-cost photovoltaics and flexible displays.
