title: Reconfigurable topography for rapid solution processing of transparent conductors.
abstract: Cost-effective materials for transparent conducting electrodes are essential for many devices used in clean energy production and consumer electronics. Here we report a technique for non-lithographic patterning of silver nanowires on flexible substrates from solution via microcontact transfer printing using donor substrates with reconfigurable topography. This approach is a highly scalable fabrication strategy for high performance transparent conductors.
