Electroplated Metal Grid/Surface-Embedded Silver Nanowire Hybrid Structure: A Robust and Flexible Transparent Conducting Electrode Platform

Abstract

We report flexible transparent conducting electrode film using a metal grid/silver nanowire (AgNW) hybrid structure (MG/NW-GFRHybrimer). The MG/NW-GFRHybrimer consists of an AgNW-embedded glassfabric reinforced plastic film (AgNW-GFRHybrimer) as a seed layer, and an electroplated metal grid. The MG/NW-GFRHybrimer exhibits excellent opto-electrical properties, superior thermal stability, and outstanding mechanical flexibility.
