Novel Transparent Electrodes

|
(Collaborators: Prof. Kristen Constant, Prof. Kai-Ming Ho, Ames Lab)
We recently demonstrated a new metal-based architecture of transparent electrodes (Kuang et. al, Advanced Materials, 2011). Check out videos of two such electrodes fabricated on glass:
(1) Video of encapsulated transparent electrodes with metallic nanoribbons of height 300 nm and thickness 50 nm, supported by a transparent polymer grating of periodicity 2.5 micron and width 1.2 micron.
(2) Video of encapsulated transparent electrodes with metallic nanoribbons of height 1200 nm with other dimensions same as above.
Refer our publication for structural details, fabrication procedure and characterization of these electrodes.
