Abstract
A method of producing a transparent conductive electrode is provided. The method comprises spraying a suspension of electrically conductive nanowires on a polymer substrate to form droplets thereon, wherein each of the droplets has a periphery which is in contact with one or more peripheries of another droplet, wherein the suspension comprises a polar solvent, wherein the polymer substrate and the polar solvent produce a surface tension which directs the electrically conductive nanowires to accumulate at the periphery of each of the droplets to form a network of connected ring structures, and removing the polar solvent from the polymer substrate to form a micromesh comprising the electrically conductive nanowires which are retained in the form of the network of connected ring structures. The transparent conductive electrode and its uses are also provided.
