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)

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.
