Solution-processed silver nanowire (AgNW) has been considered as a promising material for next-generation flexible transparent conductive electrodes. However, despite the advantages of AgNWs, some of their intrinsic drawbacks, such as large surface roughness and poor interconnection between wires, limit their practical application in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Herein, we report a high-performance AgNW-based hybrid electrode composed of indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) and poly (3,4-ethylenediowythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT:PSS]. The IZO layer protects the underlying AgNWs from oxidation and corrosion and tightly fuses the wires together and to the substrate. The PEDOT:PSS effectively reduces surface roughness and increases the hybrid films' transmittance. The fabricated electrodes exhibited a low sheet resistance of 5.9 Ωsq with high transmittance of 86% at 550 nm. The optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of the AgNW-based hybrid films were investigated in detail to determine the structure-property relations, and whether optical or electrical properties could be controlled with variation in each layer's thickness to satisfy different requirements for different applications. Flexible OLEDs (f-OLEDs) were successfully fabricated on the hybrid electrodes to prove their applicability; their performance was even better than those on commercial indium doped tin oxide (ITO) electrodes.
溶液处理的银纳米线(AgNW)被认为是下一代柔性透明导电电极的有前途的材料。然而,尽管 AgNW 具有优势,但它们的一些内在缺陷,如大的表面粗糙度和线之间的不良连接,限制了它们在有机发光二极管(OLEDs)中的实际应用。在此,我们报告了一种由掺铟氧化锌(IZO)和聚(3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩):聚(苯乙烯磺酸盐)[PEDOT:PSS]组成的高性能 AgNW 基混合电极。IZO 层可防止底层 AgNW 被氧化和腐蚀,并将线紧密地融合在一起并与基底结合。PEDOT:PSS 可有效降低表面粗糙度并提高混合膜的透光率。所制备的电极表现出低的方块电阻为 5.9Ωsq,在 550nm 处具有 86%的高透光率。详细研究了基于 AgNW 的混合膜的光学、电学和机械性能,以确定结构-性能关系,以及是否可以通过改变各层厚度来控制光学或电学性能,以满足不同应用的不同要求。成功地在混合电极上制备了柔性 OLED(f-OLED),以证明其适用性;它们的性能甚至优于商业掺铟锡氧化物(ITO)电极的性能。
