It proposes and demonstrates a new type of embedded metal-mesh transparent electrode (EMTE) that offers superior electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. The structure of the EMTE allows thick metal mesh to be used (for high conductivity) without sacrificing surface smoothness. In addition, the embedded structure improves the EMTE?s mechanical stability under high bending stress, as well as its chemical stability in ambient environments. These design aspects are then shown to be suitable for larger electrode areas, narrower metal-mesh line widths, and a wide range of materials, and can easily be adapted to produce flexible and even stretchable devices. In closing, the book explores the practical applications of EMTEs in flexible bifacial dye-sensitized solar cells and transparent thin-film heaters, demonstrating their outstanding performance. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aMaterials?Surfaces 606 $aThin films 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aEnergy harvesting 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronics$xMaterials 606 $aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 606 $aNanotechnology and Microengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000 606 $aEnergy Harvesting$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/117000 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 615 0$aMaterials?Surfaces. 615 0$aThin films. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aEnergy harvesting. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronics$xMaterials. 615 14$aSurfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 615 24$aNanotechnology and Microengineering. 615 24$aEnergy Harvesting. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 676 $a541.3724 700 $aKhan$b Arshad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0881847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373891703321 996 $aNovel Embedded Metal-mesh Transparent Electrodes$91969805 997 $aUNINA
