Abstract

Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are highly desirable for making full use of solar energy. However, the production and application of TCFs are seriously restricted by two obvious weaknesses: complex processes and poor properties. In this research, simple and direct approaches including condensation reflux and hot-pressing are selected to gain a cheap TCF with good properties. The polyvinyl butyral enhanced by 6 spray layers of Ag nanowires (AgNWs/PVB) TCF is found to achieve an optical transmittance of 80.1% and a sheet resistance of 86.4 Ω/sq, and meanwhile, withstand bending cycles over 150 and an extensile rate of 15%. Additionally, the AgNWs/PVB TCF has a deep potential to be further improved by hot-pressing treatment and its sheet resistance can be reduced to 19.7 Ω/sq. Our findings may show a facile way to produce low-cost and high-performance TCFs.
