indium tin oxide (ito) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by rf sputtering using an ito ceramic target (in2o3-sno2, 90-10 wt. %). after deposition, samples were annealed at different temperatures in vacuum furnace. the post vacuum annealing effects on the structural, optical and electrical properties of ito films were investigated. polycrystalline ito films have been analyzed in wide...

the improvement of the physical properties of indium tin oxide (ito) layers is quite advantageous in photovoltaic applications. in this study the ito film is deposited by rf sputtering onto p-type crystalline silicon (c-si) with (100) orientation, multicrystalline silicon (mc-si), and glass substrates coated with zno and annealed in vacuum furnace at 400°c. electrical, optical, structural and m...

Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) have high optical transmission at visible wavelengths and electrical conductivity close to that of metals. They also reflect near infrared and infrared (i.e., heat) wavelengths, and are used in products ranging from energy efficient low-e windows to photovoltaics. One of their most important uses is for transparent electrical contacts. Virtually all applicati...

In order to improve the performance of various flexible electronic devices, the research on the transparent conductive thin films becomes very intensive in the recent years. In this work, we studied mechanical and thermal behaviors of two types of transparent conductive thin films, Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as an example on polymer conductive thin film, and indium tin oxide (ITO)...

In liquid crystal devices (LCDs) the indium tin oxide (ITO) films are traditionally used as transparent and conductive electrodes. However, today, due to the development of multichannel optical communication, the need for flexible LCDs and multilayer structures has grown. For this application ITO films cannot be used in principle. For this problem, graphene (an ultrathin material with unique pr...

The fabrication of transparent, conductive, and uniform silver nanowire films using the scalable rod-coating technique is described in this study. Properties of the transparent conductive thin films are investigated, as well as the approaches to improve the performance of transparent silver nanowire electrodes. It is found that silver nanowires are oxidized during the coating process. Incubatio...

Highly conductive, transparent, flexible and scalable graphene hybrid thin films with controlled domain size were successfully fabricated via a mechanochemical method, screen printing and pressure-assisted reduction process.

We report all-solution-processed transparent conductive electrodes based on Ag nanowire (AgNW)-embedded metal oxide composite films for application in organometal halide perovskite solar cells. To address the thermal instability of Ag nanowires, we used combustive sol-gel derived thin films to construct ZnO/ITO/AgNW/ITO composite structures. The resulting composite configuration effectively pre...
