Abstract

Transparent conductive films (TCFs) based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) are becoming one of the best candidates in realizing flexible optoelectronic devices. The AgNW-based TCF is usually prepared by coating AgNWs on a transparent polymer film; however, the coated AgNWs easily detach from the polymer underneath because of the weak adhesion between them. Herein, a network of AgNWs is embedded in the transparent hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose film, which has a strong adhesion with the AgNWs. The obtained TCF shows high optical transmittance (>85%), low roughness (rms = 4.8 ± 0.5 nm), and low haze (<0.2%). More importantly, owing to the embedding structure and strong adhesion, this TCF also shows excellent electromechanical stability, which is superior to the reported ones. Employing this TCF in a flexible electrochromic device, the obtained device exhibits excellent cyclic electromechanical stability and high coloring efficiency. Our work demonstrates a promising TCF with superior electromechanical stability for future applications in flexible optoelectronics.
