Abstract

The architecture of transparent contacts is of utmost importance for creation of efficient flexible light-emitting devices (LEDs) and other deformable electronic devices. We successfully combined the newly synthesized transparent and durable silicone rubbers and the semiconductor materials with original fabrication methods to design LEDs and demonstrate their significant flexibility. We developed electrodes based on a composite GaP nanowire-phenylethyl-functionalized silicone rubber membrane, improved with single-walled carbon nanotube films for a hybrid poly(ethylene oxide)-metal-halide perovskite (CsPbBr3) flexible green LED. The proposed approach provides a novel platform for fabrication of flexible hybrid optoelectronic devices.
