Problems solved by technology

The metal grid transparent electrode prepared by photolithography, electrospinning and patterning technology is very thick and has node resistance. In order to realize its application in optoelectronic devices, it is necessary to increase transfer printing, semi-embedding and other processes or preparation. Composite transparent electrode to overcome, significantly increasing the complexity of the electrode material processing technology
Inkjet printing technology can overcome the large node resistance between the grids and maintain the uniformity of the electrode surface resistance, but the degree of control of the thickness difference between the grid and the substrate material is limited
In addition, the direct use of inkjet printing to prepare metal grid transparent electrodes generally requires a high annealing temperature, which is also contrary to the original intention of green printing.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing an ultra-thin metal grid flexible transparent electrode by ink-jet printing combining electroless plating process. The method comprises the following steps that a water-resistant polymer matrix template is printed in an ink jetting mode on a flexible substrate of an adhesive coating, electroless plating is performed on the exposed adhesive coating pattern, metal particles are selectively deposited to form super-adhesive ultra-thin (50nm) metal grids. The preparation process is a green reaction, and is simple, free of transfer printing, energy-saving, environment-friendly and low in cost; and the square resistance of the prepared metal transparent electrode is 9 ohm / sq, the visible light transmittance reaches 89%, the height difference of the metal grids is uniform in distribution, and the thickness of the metal grids is only 50nm. The electrical conductivity of the ultra-thin metal grids is not obviously changed through exposure of 552h ina high-humidity air environment and adhesion tests of 200 times, so that the method has operation reliability and stability, and is expected to realize large-area industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing an ultra-thin metal grid flexible transparent electrode by combining inkjet printing with an electroless plating process. Background technique [0002] Due to the excellent characteristics of high light transmittance and high conductivity, metal grid transparent electrodes have broad application prospects and practical potential in the development of commercial flexible transparent electrodes, but there are still many problems before real commercialization. There are extremely important issues that need to be resolved. One of the most important problems is to solve the large thickness difference between the metal grid and the substrate material, weak adhesion, uneven surface resistance distribution and high temperature processing conditions. The metal grid transparent electrode prepared by photolithography, electrospinning and patterning technology is very thick and has node resistance. In order to reali...
