Abstract

Flexible electronic devices offer new appealing possibilities expanding and revolutionizing the field of energy, consumer electronics, communication, health, and more. Many of these technologies rely on transparent electrodes which are typically fabricated by Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) but there is an urgent need to find more sustainable and low-cost alternatives. While significant progress has been made, there are still challenges to overcome for the fabrication of efficient Transparent Electrodes (TEs). Conducting polymers offer a promising solution for printable TEs, combining conductivity (σ) and transparency with the benefits of abundance, lightweight, and flexibility. This Trend Article examines various material categories being studied for developing transparent electrodes, including metal oxides, metals, and carbon nanostructures. The potential of conducting polymers is highlighted, along with the solution-based coating and printing technologies rising with them, to adapt to the intricate and emerging requirements of our modern world.

导电聚合物:迈向可印刷透明电极

柔性电子设备为能源、消费电子、通信、健康等领域的扩展和变革提供了新的诱人的可能性。许多这些技术依赖于透明电极，这些电极通常由氧化铟锡(ITO)制造，但迫切需要找到更可持续和低成本的替代品。虽然已经取得了重大进展，但高效透明电极(TEs)的制造仍然存在挑战。导电聚合物为可打印TEs提供了一个很有前途的解决方案，它将导电性(σ)和透明度与丰富、轻便和灵活的优点结合起来。这篇趋势文章探讨了用于开发透明电极的各种材料类别，包括金属氧化物、金属和碳纳米结构。导电聚合物的潜力是突出的，以及基于溶液的涂层和印刷技术与他们一起崛起，以适应我们现代世界复杂和新兴的需求。
