Transfer of large-area graphene films for high-performance transparent conductive electrodes
Xuesong Li,Yanwu Zhu,Weiwei Cai,Mark D. Borysiak,Boyang Han,David Chen,Richard D. Piner,Luigi Colombo,Rodney S. Ruoff +8 more
TL;DR: An improved transfer process of large-area graphene grown on Cu foils by chemical vapor deposition is reported on, finding that the transferred graphene films have high electrical conductivity and high optical transmittance that make them suitable for transparent conductive electrode applications.

Emerging Transparent Electrodes Based on Thin Films of Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, and Metallic Nanostructures
TL;DR: This review will explore the materials properties of transparent conductors, covering traditional metal oxides and conductive polymers initially, but with a focus on current developments in nano-material coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-processed metal nanowire mesh transparent electrodes.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate solution-processed transparent electrodes consisting of random meshes of metal nanowires that exhibit an optical transparency equivalent to or better than that of metal-oxide thin films for the same sheet resistance.

Silver Nanowire Networks as Flexible, Transparent, Conducting Films: Extremely High DC to Optical Conductivity Ratios
Sukanta De,Thomas M. Higgins,Philip E. Lyons,Evelyn M. Doherty,Peter N. Nirmalraj,Werner J. Blau,John J. Boland,Jonathan N. Coleman +7 more
TL;DR: These nanowire films are electromechanically very robust, with all but the thinnest films showing no change in sheet resistance when flexed over >1000 cycles, which makes these films ideal as replacements for indium tin oxide as transparent electrodes.

Transparent conductors as solar energy materials: A panoramic review
TL;DR: Transparent conductors (TCs) have a multitude of applications for solar energy utilization and for energy savings, especially in buildings as discussed by the authors, which leads naturally to considerations of spectral selectivity, angular selectivity, and temporal variability of TCs, as covered in three subsequent sections.

Electrostatic deflections and electromechanical resonances of carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: The methods developed here have been applied to a nanobalance for nanoscopic particles and also to a Kelvin probe based on nanotubes, which indicates a crossover from a uniform elastic mode to an elastic mode that involves wavelike distortions in the nanotube.

Percolation in transparent and conducting carbon nanotube networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a uniform single-walled carbon nanotube networks of varying densities have been fabricated at room temperature by a vacuum filtration method, and measurements of the sheet conductance as a function of the network density show 2D percolation behavior.
