Abstract
The design and development of cost-effective and highly stable flexible transparent conductive electrodes (f-TCEs) is crucial for various optoelectronic applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot (N-GQD)-protected silver nanowire (AgNWs)-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) electrodes as f-TCEs (N-GQDs/AgNWs/PET). Furthermore, we fabricated flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) for smart window applications using N-GQD/AgNW/PET as the f-TCE. The presence of N-GQDs on the AgNW/PET electrode improved the stability of the developed N-GQD/AgNW/PET-based flexible ECDs. The N-GQDs/AgNWs/PET-based flexible ECDs demonstrated an excellent coloration efficiency (ȠCE) of 42.7 cm2C−1 with an optical contrast of 45.4 %. Additionally, they demonstrated fast coloring and bleaching times of 6.9, and 5.7 s, respectively.
