Abstract: Disclosed are a transparent electrode for a solar cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The transparent electrode for a solar cell has a low Young's modulus, excellent elasticity, self-healing properties, an average visible-light transmittance sufficient to implement bifacial properties, and excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE). In addition, the method of manufacturing the transparent electrode for a solar cell does not require an additional deposition process, so the electrode-manufacturing time can be reduced, and the electrode-manufacturing process can be performed separately from other solar-cell-manufacturing processes, which is advantageous for mass production and large-area application.
