<p indent="0mm">High-performance flexible transparent electrodes play a decisive role in achieving high-efficiency flexible organic solar cells. Silver micro/nano-structured transparent electrodes, such as Ag-grid and AgNWs, hold great promise as an effective flexible transparent electrode for flexible organic solar cells due to their advantages of high electrical conductivity, high light transmittance, excellent mechanical bending resistance and low cost. In the past ten years, flexible organic solar cells based on silver micro/nano-structured transparent electrodes have achieved significant breakthrough in power conversion efficiency. In this review, we first introduced several different preparation methods of silver micro/nano structures. Next, we summarized the optimization methods for the conductivity of AgNWs films. Then, we summarized the progress of flexible organic solar cells based on silver micro/nano-structured transparent electrodes. Finally, we provided a brief challenge analysis for the developments of flexible organic solar cells based on silver micro/nano-structured transparent electrodes.
