The race to replace tin-doped indium oxide: which material will win? (2010, background): “fail under bending, restricting their use in flexible optoelectronic devices.(4) In addition,”
Polymer- and carbon-based electrodes for polymer solar cells: Toward low-cost, continuous fabrication over large area (2012, background): “In any case, one of the main faults of ITO on a flexible support consists in the unsatisfactory mechanical properties [43–47], because it tends to crack and/or to delaminate, especially after repeated bending cycles.”
Spray coated high-conductivity PEDOT:PSS transparent electrodes for stretchable and mechanically-robust organic solar cells (2013, background): “2 1821; ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) are under intense investigation [15–21] with key advantages over ITO including greatly improved flexibility, [22,23] reduced weight, and compatibility with solution-based deposition techniques such as gravure printing, slot die coa”
