Abstract

We report a novel flexible hybrid plastic film that can be used as a robust electrode platform for typical thin-film optoelectronic devices. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) were embedded on the surface of a glass-fabric reinforced transparent composite (GFRHybrimer) film to form a flexible transparent conducting substrate with excellent opto-electrical properties, superior thermal stability, and impressive mechanical flexibility. A highly efficient and flexible inverted organic solar cell with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.9% under 100 mW cm−2 AM 1.5G illumination was fabricated on the AgNW–GFRHybrimer film. The AgNW–GFRHybrimer film exhibits potential as an excellent transparent electrode for low cost flexible optoelectronic devices.
