“…2,3) Therefore, various types of flexible TCEs, such as conducting polymers, graphene, metal grid, Ag nanowires (NWs), and oxide-metal-oxide multilayers have been extensively investigated. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Considering the high cost of indium-based oxide material and vacuum-based processing of ITO films, the development of cost effective indium-and vacuum-free transparent electrodes is very important. 10,11) Among several options to replace ITO films, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been suggested as a promising candidate for flexible TCEs.…”

We investigated a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) electrode as a potential flexible transparent conducting electrode. The mechanical integrity of an SWCNT electrode spray-coated onto a polyethylene terephthalate substrate was investigated via outer/inner bending, twisting, stretching, and adhesion tests. In particular, its environmental reliability under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions was characterized. The spray-coated SWCNT electrode showed a sheet resistance of 200 Ω/square and a transparency of 83%. The SWCNT electrode showed a constant resistance change (ΔR/R 0) within an outer and inner bending radius of 2.5 mm. The bending fatigue test showed that the SWCNT electrode can withstand 10,000 bending cycles at a bending radius of 5 mm. Furthermore, the resistance change of the stretched SWCNT electrode was fairly constant up to a strain of 5%, which is quite stable compared with the resistance change of conventional amorphous indium tin oxide electrodes. The SWCNT electrode also showed good adhesion strength. The environmental storage test at a high temperature (85 °C) indicated that change in the electrical resistance of the SWCNT electrode is less than 9% after 100 h test. In the environmental reliability tests at 85% relative humidity (RH) and 60 °C/90% RH, the ΔR/R 0 of the SWCNT electrode was very small. These results indicate that the SWCNT electrode has good environmental stability.

Transparent and flexible electronics are emerging technologies with the potential to enable new applications. However, to ensure high‐performance transparent electronics, post‐processing such as thermal annealing and vacuum plasma treatment is necessary, which are difficult to apply to polymer‐based flexible substrates. This study analyzed the feasibility of applying selective Ar plasma jet treatment at atmospheric pressure to transparent flexible electronics. When atmospheric Ar plasma treatment is applied to transparent flexible aluminum‐doped zinc oxide (AZO), it showed a maximum 83.1% improvement in sheet resistance while maintaining a high transmittance performance, of over 70%. To verify the mechanism behind the surface treatment effect using atmospheric Ar plasma, comprehensive analyses are performed using atomic force microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which confirmed that the effect is due to oxygen vacancy formation caused by ion bombardment and thermal diffusion. The application of atmospheric plasma treatment to a patterned transparent flexible AZO device resulted in a reduction in contact resistance, and it is confirmed that the performance improvement effects can be retained for >500 h by applying additional passivation.
