In this study, a novel strategy is presented for fabricating all-solution-processable and highly conductive coating by means of metal/polyelectrolyte complexation to achieve controlled electrical percolation; this simultaneously imparts superior electrical conductivity and good mechanical properties. A polymeric matrix comprised of polyelectrolyte multilayers is first formed using layer-by-layer assembly, and then Ag nanoparticles are gradually synthesized and gradationally distributed inside the polymeric matrix by means of a subsequent procedure of repeated cationic exchange and reduction. During this process, electrical percolation between Ag nanoparticles and networking of electrical pathways is facilitated in the surface region of the complexed flm, providing outstanding electrical conductivity only one order of magnitude less than that of metallic Ag. |
