[Stanford Nano Society Seminar] Tomorrow 12pm - 1pm, McCullough 115, Transparent Conductors: the Current and the Future

Stanford Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Society Seminar:

Transparent Conductors: the Current and the Future

Speaker - Jung-Yong Lee (Prof. Peter Peumans group)

Location: McCullough 115
Time: 12:00 noon - 1:00pm
Date: Apr. 24 (Friday) – Tomorrow!

Abstract:
Transparent conductive electrodes are important components of thin-film solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and many display technologies. Doped metal oxides are commonly used, but their optical transparency is limited for films with a low sheet resistance. Furthermore, they are prone to cracking when deposited on flexible substrates, are costly, and require a high-temperature step for the best performance. We demonstrate solution-processed transparent electrodes consisting of random meshes of metal nanowires that exhibit an optical transparency equivalent to or better than that of metal-oxide thin films for the same sheet resistance. Organic solar cells deposited on these electrodes show a performance equivalent to that of devices based on a conventional metal-oxide transparent electrode.
