Abstract


Silver nanowire (AgNW) random meshes have attracted considerable attention as flexible and high‐performance transparent electrodes. Notably, post‐treatment of the AgNW random meshes, such as thermal annealing, is usually required to guarantee comparable optical transparency and electrical conductivity to commercial indium tin oxide (ITO). Here, the integral elements of preparing a high‐performance, large‐area AgNW random mesh network are discussed. High‐performance nanostructured transparent electrodes can be obtained without any post‐treatment, thereby relieving the restrictions related to the substrate. Solvent washing and a large‐area spray‐coating method effectively reduce the wire–wire contact resistances, thus reducing or eliminating the requirement for post‐treatment.
