摘要
In this study, a simple spraying method is used to prepare the transparent conductive films （TCFs） based on Ag nanowires （AgNWs）. Polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP） is introduced to modify the interface of substrate. The transmittance and bending performance are improved by optimizing the number of spraying times and the solution concentration and controlling the annealing time. The spraying times of 20, the concentration of 2 mg/mL and the annealing time of 10 min are chosen to fabricate the PVP/AgNWs films. The transmittance of PVP/AgNWs films is 53.4%----67.9% at 380---780 nm, and the sheet resistance is 30 f~/n which is equivalent to that of commercial indium tin oxide （1TO）. During cyclic bending tests to 500 cycles with bending radius of 5 ram, the changes of resistivity are negligible. The performance of PVP/AgNW transparent electrodes has little change after being exposed to the normal environment for 1 000 h. The adhesion to polymeric substrate and the ability to endure bending stress in AgNWs network films are both significantly improved by introducing PVP. Spraying method makes AgNWs form a stratified structure on large-area polymer substrates, and the vacuum annealing method is used to weld the AgNWs together at junctions and substrates, which can improve the electrical conductivity. The experimental results indicate that PVP/AgNW transpar- ent electrodes can be used as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible organic light emitting diodes （OLEDs）.
