We prepare transparent, self-assembled polygonal silver nanowires (AgNWs) mesh by bubble template and transferred as top electrode in poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(stylenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/nsilicon hybrid solar cell, which shows power conversion efficiency of 10.62% under 100 mW/cm 2 of AM 1.5 illuminations. The self-assembled AgNWs mesh electrode exhibited a low sheet resistance (50 Ohm/square) with high transmittance (87%) at a wavelength of 550nm. In self-assembled AgNWs mesh, AgNWs are well packed making continuous path for charge collection and transportation. Nevertheless, studies have also been carried out to transfer AgNWs from donor (glass or plastic) to receiver substrates (thermal release tape) and an expected reason for the transfer of AgNWs from thermal release tape to the of PEDOT:PSS has also been proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
