Large‐Diameter Carbon Nanotube Transparent Conductor Overcoming Performance–Yield Tradeoff

Carbon Nanotube Transparent Electrode

Transparent and flexible carbon nanotube transistors.

We report the fabrication of transparent and flexible transistors where both the bottom gate and the conducting channel are carbon nanotube networks of different densities and Parylene N is the gate insulator. Device mobilities of 1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) and on/off ratios of 100 are obtained, with the latter influenced by the properties of the insulating layer. Repetitive bending has minor influenc...

Fabrication and investigation of a transparent and flexible loudspeaker and microphone based on carbon nanotube

Transparent acoustic sensors and actuators are a new generation of acoustic transducers that can create an evolution in the microphone and loudspeakers industries. These transducers with properties like transparency, flexibility, flatness, very low weight and thickness have a great potential for various applications like public speakers, active noise cancelation systems, displays, cell phones a...

Planar silver nanowire, carbon nanotube and PEDOT:PSS nanocomposite transparent electrodes

Highly conductive, transparent and flexible planar electrodes were fabricated using interwoven silver nanowires and single-walled carbon nanotubes (AgNW:SWCNT) in a PEDOT:PSS matrix via an epoxy transfer method from a silicon template. The planar electrodes achieved a sheet resistance of 6.6 ± 0.0 Ω/□ and an average transmission of 86% between 400 and 800 nm. A high figure of merit of 367 Ω-1 i...

Mirage effect from thermally modulated transparent carbon nanotube sheets.

The single-beam mirage effect, also known as photothermal deflection, is studied using a free-standing, highly aligned carbon nanotube aerogel sheet as the heat source. The extremely low thermal capacitance and high heat transfer ability of these transparent forest-drawn carbon nanotube sheets enables high frequency modulation of sheet temperature over an enormous temperature range, thereby pro...
