Article Synopsis
- Indium tin oxide (ITO) is well-known for its use as a transparent conductive electrode in optoelectronic devices, but it's typically brittle.
- The study introduces a grating-like structure that improves ITO's mechanical properties while keeping its electrical and optical performance intact, achieving a resistivity of less than 1.3 × 10 Ω cm and over 90% light transmission across the visible spectrum.
- The newly designed nanopatterned ITO shows remarkable flexibility and durability, withstanding over 50 cycles of bending to a tight curvature without significant degradation in its resistivity or transparency.
Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells have attracted tremendous attention mostly due to their wide absorption spectrum window and potentially low processability cost. The ultimate efficiency of CQD solar cells is highly limited by their high trap state density. Here we show that the overall device power conversion efficiency could be improved by employing photonic structures that enhance both charge generation and collection efficiencies.
