摘要

The reliability and stability of flexible transparent conductive electrodes (FTCEs) are pivotal in determining the performance of flexible optoelectronic devices. In this work, a method for the preparation of FTCEs was devised by combining the water-soluble sacrificial layer transfer technique with the inkjet printing process. Silver electrodes of varying shapes were prepared on a water-soluble sacrificial layer using inkjet printing, and the electrodes were then transferred to a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrate by means of a peel-off technique. FTCEs demonstrated sheet resistance of 11.96 Ω/sq, average transmittance of 86.21% in the visible region, and a resistance growth rate of only 16.9% after 100,000 bending cycles. The properties exhibited by these substrates were found to be superior to those of commercial indium tin oxide (ITO) flexible substrates. The findings demonstrate that the water-soluble sacrificial layer transfer printing technique developed in this work has considerable potential for application in the fabrication of electrodes for flexible optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, it can be extended for application in a wider range of optoelectronic devices.
