Low Cost Copper Transparent Electrode Material (LOCUST)

透明导电电极（TCE）是太阳能电池和其他设备（如显示器）的重要组成部分，目前氧化铟锡（ITO）和银是普遍的选择。然而，ITO和银是昂贵的。ITO的供应有限，并且在压力下易于性能下降，因此ITO替代tce在过去几年引起了广泛的兴趣。有希望的替代品包括更便宜的透明导电氧化物、碳纳米管（CNT）或石墨烯基薄膜、导电聚合物和基于金属网格的tce。该联盟旨在为太阳能电池开发低成本、优质、可持续的Cunanowires基TCE，并探索其在其他设备上的应用。财务汇总表-如何完成本节

Transparent conductive electrode (TCE) is an essential component for solar cells and other devices such asdisplays, currently indium tin oxide (ITO) and silver are the prevailing choices. ITO and silver are howeverexpensive. ITO has limited supply, and tends to degrade in performance under stress, so ITO-replacementTCEs have attracted extensive interests in the past years. Promising possible replacements include lessexpensive transparent conductive oxides, carbon nanotubes (CNT) or graphene-based thin films, conductivepolymers, and metal grids based TCEs. This consortium aims to develop low cost and superior, sustainable Cunanowires based TCE for solar cells, and explore its application to other devices.Finance Summary Table – How to complete this section
