Flexible, highly conductive and transparent electronic materials are critically important areas of active research. Metals, although being excellent conductors are largely brittle and have increasingly poor conductance when strained. Moreover, metals are optically opaque at the technologically relevant sub-100 nm node. Serpentine Au thin films embedded in elastomeric membranes have gone some wa...

A highly transparent conductive film was fabricated using self-assembled silver electrodes with anti-reflection (AR) film. The micro pore diameter of sliver nanoparticles (ca 50~60nm in diameter) network electrodes expanded to size of 200-300 μm by the increase of air voids with evaporated water. The transmittance of the silver network electrode increased was drastically increased by the optica...

Silver nanowire films are promising alternatives to tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) films as transparent conductive electrodes. In this paper, we report the use of vacuum filtration and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-assisted transfer printing technique to fabricate silver nanowire films on both rigid and flexible substrates, bringing advantages such as the capability of patterned transfer, the bes...

To obtain low sheet resistance, high optical transmittance, small open spaces in conductive networks, and enhanced adhesion of flexible transparent conductive films, a carbon nanotube (CNT)/silver nanowire (AgNW)-PET hybrid film was fabricated by mechanical pressing-transfer process at room temperature. The morphology and structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and at...

Since graphene oxide can be synthesized in large quantities by oxidation of inexpensively available natural graphite and dispersed water, it coated onto a variety substrates solution processes. Graphene also reduced to yield oxide, which has similar electronic features graphene. This review introduces the environmentally friendly methods for synthesis utilizing electrochemical thermal summarize...

As a transparent conductive film for touch panels, FUJITSU COMPONENT and FUJITSU LABORATORIES have jointly developed an organic conductive polymer film with excellent environmental resistance, high conductivity, and transparency and have applied it in a touch panel product. This product has better endurance than touch panels adopting conventional ITO films and a lifetime of 10-fold or longer th...

Highly conductive In-doped CdO/Sn-doped In2O3 (CIO/ITO) bilayer transparent conducting oxide (TCO) thin films were prepared by combining, in sequence, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and ion-assisted deposition (IAD) techniques. The bilayer substrates, with a low In content of ∼19 atom % and a low sheet resistance of only ∼4.9 Ω/0, were investigated as anodes in the bulk-heteroj...
