Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An method for preparing a flexible transparent electrode film that has a high transmittance and low sheet resistance without having to go through a separate heating process by using cesium, and a flexible transparent electrode film prepared thereby, the method including: applying a nanowire transparent conductive film on a high molecular base material film; coating the nanowire transparent conductive film with a sol-gel solution wherein titanium dioxide and cesium are mixed; and welding the nanowire.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a flexible transparent electrode film using cesium, the method comprising: applying a nanowire transparent conductive film on a base film; coating the nanowire transparent conductive film with a sol-gel solution wherein titanium dioxide and cesium are mixed; and welding between nanowires in the nanowire transparent conductive film. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein 0.1 to 1 parts by weight of cesium is used per 100 parts by weight of sol-gel solution. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the applying, coating, and welding are performed at room temperature. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the coating is bar-coating, spin-coating, casting, or dip-coating process, or a combination thereof. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein an alcohol solvent is used in the bar-coating. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base film comprises a high-molecular compound of polyethyleneterephtalate (PET), polyethylenenaphtalate (PEN), polyethylene (PE), polyetherfone (PES), polycarbonate (PC), polyarylate (PAR), or polyimide (PI), or a combination thereof.
