摘要

Silver nanowires (AgNWs)-based flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) were fabricated by spin coating AgNWs onto polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates at different rotation speeds and deposition volumes determined through optimization and analysis. The influence of AgNWs concentration and coating techniques on optoelectronic performance was systematically investigated. The conductivity of the fabricated AgNWs TCEs was evaluated using a four-point collinear probe method, and their mechanical robustness was analyzed using a linear motor setup under various bending cycles. The AgNWs electrodes displayed a sheet resistance of 7.1 Ω/□ with 85% transmittance, and Haacke figure of merit of 2.76 × 10⁻2 Ω⁻1. The electrode maintained stable electrical performance under 1000 bending cycles, confirming the formation of a mechanically robust percolative nanowire network. This relationship between AgNWs loading and optoelectronic properties indicates that conductivity is governed by network connectivity and junction density. These results demonstrate that the fabricated AgNWs TCEs offer a cost-effective and mechanically robust alternative to conventional ITO electrodes for applications concerning flexible optoelectronics.
