Abstract

This work reports stretchable gold nanowires grown on M13 bacteriophage in perovskite solar cells, which is the first demonstration of the M13 virus as a stretchable transparent electrode.

  • We demonstrate the synthesis of environmentally friendly and scalable M13 bacteriophage-templated stretchable electrodes and their application as a transparent conductor in perovskite solar cells (PSCs)

  • Virus-templated nanowires were fabricated by growing metal particles on wild-type M13 bacteriophage in water and dropcasting the solution onto glass substrates, which were later transferred onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for device application as stretchable electrodes (Fig. 1)

Introduction

Jiye Han,‡ab Jeong-Seok Nam, ‡b Kyusun Kim,b Eun Jung Choi,c JongMin Lee, c Shigeo Maruyama, de Il Jeon *bd and Jin-Woo Oh *ac. M13 bacteriophage-templated gold nanowires as stretchable electrodes in perovskite solar cells† The optimal virus-templated gold nanowire electrodes from aqueous solutions exhibit a sheet resistance of 144.5 O sqÀ1 and transparency of 83% at 550 nm light wavelength.
