Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although transparent electrodes based on metal grids have significant advantages in solving the contradiction between light transmittance and conductivity of traditional electrodes, the large aspect ratio structure prepared by the current method will make the surface roughness of the electrode, which is easy to cause OLED and Photovoltaic devices are short-circuited, etc.; the electrode material has poor adhesion to the substrate, is easy to fall off, and easily causes device failure; poor mechanical properties, when bent more than 5,000 times, the resistance changes before and after and is not resistant to stretching; and high temperature treatment is required to remove the metal paste The polymer additives in the material make it have good conductivity, thus limiting its application on flexible substrates that are not resistant to high temperatures
Although researchers at home and abroad have made various attempts and explorations on the embedded metal grid transparent electrode manufacturing technology, the main manufacturing process is still difficult to get rid of the yellow light process and electroplating process, the process is complicated, the cost is high, and the waste and liquid produced are relatively large. Too much waste of resources pollutes the environment, and it is difficult to achieve high-efficiency and low-cost green manufacturing of ultra-fine, high-aspect-ratio embedded metal grids
