Flashed zinc oxide gives record electrode performance

摘要

As flexible electronics emerge in consumer markets, there is a progressive need for high-quality transparent conductors fabricated by inexpensive and industrially viable techniques. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the most promising materials for this purpose due to its low cost, low toxicity, high transparency and high conductivity following doping. However, the high temperatures and vacuum conditions used to process ZnO electrodes currently limit widespread adoption.
