An inexpensive, simultaneously transparent and highly conducting metallic network can be made by electroplating the metallic ribbon networks obtained with the self‐cracking methods. This process combination results in a transparent network with ultralow resistance and good transparency, with the highest reported figure of merit of over 30 000. This network can be used as high performance window electrode for light emitting diodes and solar cells.
