Abstract

It is reported a kind of solution-processible transparent conductive film consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets and silver nanowires (AgNWs). The sandwiched structure of rGO/AgNWs/rGO is readily deposited via layer-by-layer blade-coating on the rigid glass or flexible PET substrate at mild annealing temperature. The rGO nanosheets sandwiching the AgNWs networks not only induce close contact of the AgNWs networks as a clipper to improve the conductivity, but also link the discrete AgNWs as a connector to improve the uniformity of the film conductivity. The transparent rGO/AgNWs/rGO film exhibits sheet resistance as low as 14.29 Ω/□ with transmittance over 90% at 550 nm. Moreover, the rGO/AgNWs/rGO composite film shows good ambient stability due to the rGO coverage and the existing charge interaction between AgNWs and rGO. Polymer solar cells are fabricated on the transparent rGO/AgNWs/rGO-coated glass or flexible PET substrates and they exhibit comparable photovoltaic perfromance to the control devices fabricated on the commercial ITO substrate. More importantly, the PSCs based on the rGO/AgNWs/rGO/PET substrate show more excellent flexibility than that of the device based on the ITO/PET substrate.
