▎ 摘  要

Advances in flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices have caused higher requirements for fabricating high-performance and low cost flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Copper nanowires (Cu NWs) possess excellent electrical and optical properties, but the large contact resistance and poor stability limit their practical application in optoelectronic devices. In this work, we report a robust, convenient and environment-friendly method to assemble copper nanowires/reduced graphene oxide (Cu NWs/rGO) TCEs with enhanced conductivity, flexibility and stability at room temperature. The NaBH4 treatment was used to remove the organics and oxides on the surface of Cu NWs, and the graphene oxide (GO) capping layer was also effectively reduced at the same time. The best Cu NWs/rGO composite TCEs show a good optical-electrical performance with a sheet resistance of ?50 ?/sq and transmittance of 83% as well as superior mechanical flexibility. The oxidation resistance of Cu NWs in normal environment and even at a relatively high temperature has also been greatly improved. Additionally, the Cu NWs/rGO TCEs based heaters presented high saturation temperature and rapid response time under a low voltage. The high-performance composite Cu NWs TCEs with good stability are expected to be applied in various types of flexible optoelectronic devices.
