| 39. A nanostructured transparent conducting electrode, comprising:
a nano-architected transparent porous film having a plurality of interconnected pores, wherein the pores are interconnected
by an ordered network of connecting structures in the film;
an electrically conductive material that substantially fills the pores and connecting structures in the nano-architected porous
film to form a network of interconnected conductive structures in the porous film; and
a layer of transparent conducting material coupled to the porous film.
