Abstract Developments in flexible electronic devices have led to development of flexible displays, solar cells and sensors. Particularly, flexible transpa-rent conductive films (TCFs) form an indispensable part of flexible electronic devices and the demand for these conductive films will increase in the future. At present, scalable, lightweight, flexible, stretchable, and low-cost optoelectronic devices are desired. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most widely used TCFs. However, ITO is brittle in addition to requiring complication preparation process. More importantly, indium is a rare metal, which is scarce and expensive. Therefore, substitutes exhibiting high performance for use in flexible TCFs should be developed. Researchers have developed a variety of flexible TCFs that can replace ITO, and films based on metal mesh have demonstrated great potential. These films have demonstrated excellent photoelectric properties and mechanical flexibility. The line width and spacing of the metal mesh can be changed independently, thus granting a better ability to adjust trade-off between square resistance and transmittance of the film. Many reports have detailed the development of metal mesh-based flexible TCFs with performances, which are comparable to ITO. Most of these reports prepare master plates by photolithography. Consequently, this preparation is combined with electroless plating or electrodeposition to make conductive films. Flexible TCFs prepared by photolithography have good performance. However, photolithography is complicated and expensive. Some reports have detailed the preparation of flexible TCFs using additive manufacturing, electrostatic spinning, photonic sintering, and template method. The flexible TCFs fabricated using additive manufacturing have been commercialized for touchscreen applications and are expected to be developed further. In this paper, progress in preparation and optoelectronic device applications of metal mesh TCFs is reviewed. Specifically, the photoelectric properties, manufacturing technology, and device applications of metal mesh TCFs and the drawback of these preparation methods are discussed. This paper provides a reference for future research in the TCFs domain.
