A cost-effective process for producing high-performance Ag-paste-based flexible transparent nanomesh electrodes (FTNEs) was developed by optimizing their linewidth, pitch, and height. These nanomesh electrodes, with a linewidth of several hundred nanometers and a pitch of 10-200 μm on a PET substrate, achieved wide ranges of transmittance (83.1%-98.8%) and sheet resistance (1.2-30.9 Ω/sq) and a figure of merit (992-1619) superior to those of indium tin oxide and silver nanowire (AgNW) electrodes. Our evaluation of their flexibility (testing up to 50 000 cycles) and their electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness verifies the applicability of these FTNEs to various flexible optoelectronic devices.

Article Synopsis
- The study identifies the time-dependent mechanism for creating CoFe(OH)-t nanomesh, which is crucial for developing an effective catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
- Utilizing 2-ethyl imidazole as an etching agent, the research showed that the nanomesh transformed from layered structures to uniform ink-bottle pores over 24 hours, optimizing pore size for catalytic efficiency.
- The best-performing catalyst, CoFe(OH)-24 h, achieved outstanding electrochemical metrics including a 330 mV overpotential and demonstrated excellent stability with high average current density during prolonged electrolysis.

Silicone-based devices have the potential to achieve an ideal interface with nervous tissue but suffer from scalability, primarily due to the mechanical mismatch between established electronic materials and soft elastomer substrates. This study presents a novel approach using conventional electrode materials through multifunctional nanomesh to achieve reliable elastic microelectrodes directly on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone with an unprecedented cellular resolution. This engineered nanomesh features an in-plane nanoscale mesh pattern, physically embodied by a stack of three thin-film materials by design, namely Parylene-C for mechanical buffering, gold (Au) for electrical conduction, and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for improved electrochemical interfacing.

An electromagnetic (EM) wave-shielding film exhibiting high performance in high-frequency bands, such as the Ka- and W-bands, was fabricated by using double-layered metal meshes. The double-layered shielding (DLS) film consists of metallic micromesh and nanomesh electrodes (NMEs) on the upper and lower surfaces of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film, respectively. The micromesh electrodes (MMEs) were fabricated such that they possessed a thickness higher than the line width, and they thus exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave-shielding performance in addition to optical transmittance.

Transparent electrodes are vital for optoelectronic devices, but their development has been constrained by the limitations of existing materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and newer alternatives. All face issues of robustness, flexibility, conductivity, and stability in harsh environments. Addressing this challenge, we developed a flexible, low-cost titanium nitride (TiN) nanomesh transparent electrode showcasing exceptional acid-alkali resistance.
