Abstract
formation, which suppresses Ag agglomeration, while still maintaining excellent conductivity. On the other hand, extensive oxidation of APC leads to extensive Pd oxide nucleation deteriorating the conductivity of the film. The ITO/APC:O/ITO films exhibit low resistivity, attributed to a high Hall mobility associated with suppressed agglomeration, good stability in high humidity/temperature environments, superior transmittance in the visible and infrared region, and excellent mechanical bending properties, thus providing new opportunities for fabricating superior transparent conducting coatings on polymer substrates.
