Abstract

Herein we report a double layer structured transparent/flexible transparent electrode from silver nanowire (Ag NW) network film with graphene oxide (GO) coating. The electrode consists of two layers on top of a transparent substrate successively: the first layer is a thin film composed of Ag NW networks, and a GO coating on top. The top encapsulation layer not only greatly decreases the film resistivity while keeping its transparency, but also enhances the thermal and chemical stability. It is expected that the proposed GO/Ag NW double layered electrode might serve as an ultimate solution to the practical applications of Ag NW based electrode.
