In this study, highly transparent and flexible electrodes with the highest thermal stability were successfully prepared from silver nanowire (AgNW)-polyimide (PI) hybrid solutions by facile solution casting on insoluble polyimide substrates without any troublesome transferring process. The prepared highly flexible AgNW-PI electrodes exhibit a low resistance of 25 Omega sq(-1) and high transmittance up to 86% at a wavelength of 550 nm. Thus, by introducing high performance polyimide as a binder, the obtained colorless AgNW electrodes show improved adhesion properties between the AgNWs and the substrates as well as excellent thermal stabilities and high glass transition temperatures (T-g) above 300 degrees C. Furthermore, the resulting AgNW-PI hybrid colorless electrodes could maintain the conductivity even after folding more than 1000 times. Thus, these optically transparent AgNW-PI hybrid electrodes have extremely high potential to operate at high temperatures in the working environment or post processing.
