Description

Preparation method of high-precision patternable micro-nano silver nanowire transparent electrode
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible transparent electrodes, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a high-precision patternable micro-nano silver nanowire transparent electrode.
Background
Flexible transparent electrodes have been widely used in a variety of flexible electronic devices, such as wearable electronics, deformable contact interfaces, flexible integrated circuits, electronic skins, biomedical sensors, and the like. The high performance flexible transparent electrode should have high optical transmittance, low resistance and stable mechanical properties. Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is widely used as a transparent electrode in both academic and industrial fields. However, ITO does not meet the requirements of flexible devices due to its inherent stiffness (1% post strain fracture) and the high cost of physical vapor deposition. Therefore, metal nanowires, which are novel alternative materials, have attracted much attention in recent years, and among them, silver nanowires (Ag-NWs) have high optical transmittance, high electrical conductivity and good mechanical flexibility, and are ideal materials for preparing transparent flexible electrodes.
However, micropatterning processing of silver nanowire flexible transparent electrodes remains challenging, limiting their application in integrated microsensor arrays and bioelectronics. The existing micro-patterning processing technology of the silver nanowire flexible transparent electrode is high in cost, environment-friendly and long in metal etching time, and particularly when the width of a conductive channel is reduced to be below 50 micrometers, rough burrs caused by incomplete etching can appear on the edge of the channel, so that the electrode is very easy to short circuit. In addition, because the contact characteristic of the silver nanowire and a common flexible substrate such as PDMS is poor, the micro-nano silver nanowire transparent electrode prepared by the prior art needs to be improved in the aspects of conductivity and mechanical property. Therefore, how to solve the problems existing in the prior art is a problem which needs to be solved urgently by the technical personnel in the field.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of a high-precision patternable micro-nano silver nanowire transparent electrode comprises the following steps:

(S4) spin-coating photoresist on the silver nanowire conductive film, and performing pre-annealing treatment;
(S5) exposing the photoresist film with the aid of a photolithography mask;
(S6) immersing the exposed glass substrate in a developing solution for development;
(S7) completely removing the silver nanowires exposed outside the photoresist by adopting a physical brushing mode;
(S8) completely removing the photoresist remaining on the glass substrate;
(S9) drying the glass substrate;
(S10) pouring a polyvinyl alcohol solution on the glass substrate to cover the whole electrode pattern, and after the glass substrate is aired, uncovering the PVA film to obtain the micro-nano silver nanowire transparent electrode.
Further, the step (S1) of cleaning the glass substrate is to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the glass substrate by sequentially using deionized water, an ethanol solution and an acetone solution.
Further, the pretreatment method in the step (S2) is to perform pretreatment of the glass substrate with O2 Plasma for 10-15 min.
Further, the concentration of the silver nanowire solution in the step (S3) satisfies 2-5mg/ml, the length of the silver nanowire satisfies about 20-30 μm, and the diameter satisfies about 20-30 nm.
Further, the spin coating method in the step (S4) is 500rpm at the front stage for 10S, 3000rpm at the rear stage for 30S, and the pre-annealing time is 5 min.
Further, the exposure time in the step (S5) satisfies 20 to 30S.
Further, in the step (S6), the developing solution is prepared in a ratio of AZ 400K to water of 1:4, wherein the developing time satisfies 20 to 30S.
Further, the physical brushing method in the step (S7) is to repeatedly brush the glass substrate with a nylon long rod brush to completely remove the silver nanowires.
Further, the method of removing the residual photoresist in the step (S8) is to dip the glass substrate into an acetone solution to remove the residual photoresist.
Specifically, the concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol solution in the step (S10) satisfies 8 to 10 wt.%.

(1) the method comprises the steps of spraying a silver nanowire solution on a glass substrate in an electrode transfer printing mode, spinning and coating photoresist on a required silver nanowire film, developing by using a developing solution to obtain a required silver nanowire pattern, repeatedly scrubbing and removing redundant silver nanowires by using a nylon long rod brush, and finally removing residual photoresist to obtain a required finished product.
