Abstract
Transparent paper is a kind of promising and environmentally friendly material. In this study, we show that transparent paper can be fabricated in an ultra-fast and low-cost way. This low-cost top-down method only takes three steps of cell separation, lignin removal, and cold pressing to obtain a high-quality transparent paper. The fabrication time is further reduced, and the resulted transparent paper shows high transparency up to 90.3%. The application as a substrate material for transparent and flexible electronic devices is demonstrated by emulating the printed circuit on the prepared transparent paper. This top-down method will greatly promote the market-oriented applications of transparent paper as an environment friendly material.
