“…14,22 Finally, physical vapor deposition methods such as magnetron sputtering have been explored in the past as a promising means of encapsulating percolation-based TEs. 23 While solution-based methods for applications such as photovoltaics are promising and often cited as low-cost methods, most of them are processing-intensive and slow, which limit high-throughput production applications. 24 Meanwhile, other methods under development such as spatial atomic layer deposition, which offer a very promising avenue for versatile deposition, 25 require new hardware innovation, integration, and scale-up, in addition to pyrophoric precursor gases, which will limit their immediate applicability for a majority of existing infrastructures.…”

Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks have been explored as a promising technology for transparent electrodes due to their solution-processability, low-cost implementation, and excellent trade-off between sheet resistance and transparency. However, their large-scale implementation in applications such as solar cells, transparent heaters, and display applications has been hindered by their poor thermal, electrical, and chemical stability. In this work, we present reactive sputtering as a method for fast deposition of metal oxynitrides as an encapsulant layer on AgNWs. Because O 2 cannot be used as a reactive gas in the presence of oxidationsensitive materials such as Ag, N 2 is used under moderate sputtering base pressures to leverage residual H 2 O on the sample and chamber to deposit Al, Ti, and Zr oxynitrides (AlO x N y, TiO x N y , and ZrO x N y ) on Ag nanowires on glass and polymer substrates. All encapsulants improve AgNW networks' electrical, thermal, and chemical stability. In particular, AlO x N y -encapsulated networks present exceptional chemical stability (negligible increase in resistance over 7 days at 80% relative humidity and 80 °C) and transparency (96% for 20 nm films on AgNWs), while TiO x N y demonstrates exceptional thermal and electrical stability (stability up to over temperatures 100 °C more than that of bare AgNW networks, with a maximum areal power density of 1.72 W/cm 2 , and no resistance divergence at up to 20 V), and ZrO x N y presents intermediate properties in all metrics. In summary, a novel method of oxynitride deposition, leveraging moderate base pressure reactive sputtering, is demonstrated for AgNW encapsulant deposition, which is compatible with roll-to-roll processes that are operated at commercial scales, and this technique can be extended to arbitrary, vacuum-compatible substrates and device architectures.

In 2018 alone, global energy demand grew by 2.3% and will rise by 1.3% each year to 2040 [1] making it the fastest growth rate in the last decade predominantly driven by a robust global economy and increased heating and cooling needs. This tremendous need resulted in using fossil fuels to meet nearly 70% of the growth, but also promoted solar and wind generation to have a double-digit growth pace, with solar alone increasing x TABLE OF CONTENTS
