Optical and electrical properties of amorphous alloy metal mesh for transparent flexible electrodes

Abstract

Amorphous alloy thin films are promising materials for next-generation flexible electrode applications because of their large elastic strain limit, high strength, and high oxidation resistance. Here, we propose an Al-based amorphous thin film as a new transparent electrode material that exhibits excellent optical and electrical properties as well as bending durability. Furthermore, the good heat and corrosion resistivity of these Al-based amorphous thin films makes them extremely promising as next-generation flexible transparent electrodes used under various environment. © 2021
