Researchers at Korea University and the University of Illinois, as well as the University of Chicago, have developed a new thin-film material that is highly conductive, bendable, stretchable, and almost completely transparent
.
The membrane can help build more efficient solar panels, self-heating smart windows, flexible displays, and high-performance cooling surfaces
.
The most notable property of this film is the unique combination of
transparency and conductivity.
In most materials, charged particles also tend to interact with light, making the material opaque
.
But the research team developed a highly conductive copper fiber mesh with pores large enough to allow light to still pass through, with a transparency of up to 92 percent
.
This material may be the best choice
for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) for solar panels and smart windows.
The industry-standard material constructed for TCEs is indium-doped tin oxide (ITO).
However, this material is brittle and transparent, sacrificing electrical conductivity
.
The material also has excellent mechanical properties
.
According to the researchers, the film can actually stretch 580 percent and still retain one-fifth of its conductivity, or it can be bent a thousand times at a 5 millimeter (0.
2 inch) radius with no noticeable change
in performance.
