The present invention discloses a transparent conductive substrate and a preparation method thereof, and applications, pertaining to the field of transparent
conductive materials. The preparation method of the transparent conductive substrate comprises the following steps: (A) uniformly
coating a dispersion liquid containing nano-
metal on the surface of a transparent conductive substrate (1), performing pre-
drying, and obtaining a substrate (2) coated with a nano-
metal coating layer; and (B) performing
ultraviolet exposure treatment on the substrate (2) coated with the nano-
metal coating layer, forming a light-cured shaped conductive grid (3) containing the nano-metal, performing cleaning development and heating, and obtaining a transparent conductive substrate (4), wherein the grid
line width of the light-cured shaped conductive grid (3) <= 20 [mu]m. The nano-metal is an
ultraviolet sensitive material. According to the method, the thickness of a conductive layer is easy to control, the preparation method is simple, and the transparent conductive substrate with large area and controllable
conductivity can be rapidly prepared. The prepared transparent conductive substrate has the advantages of stable transparency and
conductivity, high transparency and high
yield rate.
