Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a high-performance metallic network transparent conducting electrode through a metal plating method. The method includes the following steps: (1) a fracturing sacrificial layer template is prepared on a substrate; (2) a metallic conducting seed layer is deposited on the fracturing sacrificial layer template; (3) the fracturing sacrificial layer is removed to form a metallic conducting seed layer network; and (4) metal is continuously deposited on the metallic conducting seed layer through the metal plating method, a continuous metal network with the larger thickness and the lower resistance is formed, and therefore the high-performance metallic network transparent conducting electrode is prepared. The transparent conducting electrode is mainly obtained through the metal plating method, the metal plating method belongs to a chemical liquid phase method, the preparing process is simple, resource consumption is low, and the high-performance metallic network transparent conducting electrode is suitable for large-area continuous preparation. The prepared transparent conducting electrode has the extremely-low surface resistance and the better light transmittance; meanwhile, the mechanical property and the environmental stability are good, the transparent conducting electrode is a beneficial replacer of a traditional metallic oxide electrode, and it is expected that the method is used for industrialization of the large-area transparent conducting electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thin film electrodes, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a high-performance metal network transparent conductive electrode by a metal electroplating method. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive electrodes are one of the key components of optoelectronic devices such as LEDs (light-emitting diodes), solar cells, and smart glasses. Generally speaking, a transparent conductive electrode means that the transmittance to the spectrum of the incident light wavelength range between 380nm and 780nm is greater than 80%, and the resistivity is lower than 10. -3 Ω·cm film electrode. Nowadays, conductive metal oxide films, such as ITO (indium-doped tin oxide) and FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide), have been widely used in LEDs, solar cells and smart glass. From a physical point of view, the light transmission and conductivity of materials are a pair of basic contradictions. For a materi...
