The emergence of flexible and stretchable optoelectronics has motivated the development of new transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) to replace conventional brittle indium tin oxide. For modern optoelectronics, these new TCEs should possess six key characteristics: low cost, solution-based processing; high transparency; high electrical conductivity; a smooth surface; mechanical flexibility or stretchability; and scalable, low-cost patterning methods. Among many materials currently being studied, silver nanowires (AgNWs) are one of the most promising, with studies demonstrating AgNW films and composites that exhibit each of the key requirements.

For the realization of high-efficiency flexible optoelectronic devices, transparent electrodes should be fabricated through a low-temperature process and have the crucial feature of low surface roughness. In this paper, we demonstrated a two-step spray-coating method for producing large-scale, smooth and flexible silver nanowire (AgNW)-poly3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) composite electrodes. Without the high-temperature annealing process, the conductivity of the composite film was improved via the lamination of highly conductive PEDOT:PSS modified by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
