Summary
The aim of this PoC proposal is to determine the economic and technical feasibility of using electrospun polymer templates to fabricate mechanically robust, corrosion resistant transparent conductors (TC) on flexible substrates for display, lighting, solar cells and other applications where light transmission is critical to device operation. This innovation exploits the use of inexpensive aluminium networks that surpass the performance of indium tin oxide (ITO) - the industry standard. The brittle nature of ITO and the scarcity of indium worldwide means that alterative solutions are required to meet the enormous growth in display production and the increasing demand for light-weight, mechanically robust and flexible form factors.
