Nature Degradable, Flexible, and Transparent Conductive Substrates from Green and Earth-Abundant Materials

Abstract The rapid development of wearable and disposable electronic devices and the rising awareness of environmental sustainability impose growing new demands on the nature degradability of current electronic and energy systems. Here we report a new type of flexible transparent conductive paper co...
