In this work, silver nanowire inks with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) binders were coated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and welded via flash white light and ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation to produce highly conductive transparent electrodes. The coated silver nanowire films were firmly welded and embedded into PET substrate successfully at room temperature and under amb...

A new technique for the preparation of a highly clear and transparent emulsified aqueous solution containing immiscible monomer droplets with diameters of a few tens of nanometres under surfactant-free conditions using tandem acoustic emulsification is described. Highly conductive transparent polymer films were successfully prepared from such an emulsified solution.

This communication reports a simple, one-pot procedure for the synthesis and processing of transparent and conductive thin films of graphene/polyaniline nanocomposites based on an interfacial polymerization. Thin films presenting transmittance of 89% and sheet resistance of 60.6 Ω sq(-1) are spontaneously obtained and can be easily transferred to suitable substrates.

High quality patterning of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) transparent conductive films is achieved by a lift-off aluminum interlayer method, which has the advantage of resulting in contamination-free and damage-free SWCNTs. The obtained patterns preserve the electrical properties of the SWCNT films and show promising applications in flexible high frequency electronic and display devices.

Key assets for transparent electric contacts in optoelectronic applications are high conductivity and large transparency over extended spectral range. Indium-Tin-Oxide Aluminium-doped-Zinc-oxide commercial examples, with their electrical resembling those of metals, despite, being limited up to 1.5µm. This work introduces smooth compact amorphous thin films n -type semiconducting WO 3-x prepared...

Graphene is considered as a promising candidate to replace conventional transparent conductors due to its low opacity, high carrier mobility and flexible structure. Multi-layer graphene or stacked single layer graphenes have been investigated in the past but both have their drawbacks. The uniformity of multi-layer graphene is still questionable, and single layer graphene stacks require many tra...
