Cover Story: Transparent conductive coatings are essential for next-generation flexible electronics, yet conventional materials suffer from brittleness, instability, and high cost. This work presents a water-based, scalable coating approach using ultra-long carbon nanotube networks to fabricate flexible transparent heaters on plastic and glass substrates. The resulting coatings combine high optical transparency with stable electrical conductivity, enabling fast and uniform Joule heating while maintaining mechanical durability under repeated bending. Post-deposition flash photonic heating further enhances performance without damaging polymer substrates. This study highlights a simple, low-temperature pathway toward robust transparent heaters for defogging, sensing, and thermal actuation applications. View this paper
