A highly flexible transparent conductive electrode based on nanomaterials

Abstract: The electrical, optical, thermal, chemical, mechanical and tribological characteristics of a highly flexible transparent conductive electrode (HFTCE) coating based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) were investigated under various conditions. The motivation was to develop a highly durable and flexible film for transparent conductive electrode applications. The overall characteristics of multilayers based on rGO, CNTs and AgNWs were found to be much better than… Show more

“…Therefore, a transparent conductive film (TCF) is needed in the process of Fe-C electroplating to improve the sensitivity and service life of the LPFG sensor. In the past decades, TCF has received increasing attention in applications such as sensors, actuators, optical devices and touchscreens [16,17]. The most commonly used TCF in these industries was a Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film, which is optically transparent in the visible light range and electrically conductive [18,19].…”

“…It was originally produced from graphite in laboratory through mechanical exfoliation [21][22][23]. Due to its excellent optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, graphene was used as a TCF in many applications such as flexible touchscreen, organic light emitting diode (OLED), chemical sensor, soft robotics, actuators and biological devices [16,17,[24][25][26]. In order to achieve industry-scale productions, various graphene synthesis techniques were developed by researchers [27][28][29][30].…”

“…On the other hand, the fast-growing and large-volume-need of transparent conductive electrode by touch screens, LCDs, OLEDs and solar cells demands supplement or even replacement for their traditional material, ITO (indium tin oxide), which is brittle and costly in production thus unsuitable for emerging applications requiring exibility. 21 Graphene can be a great choice as the substituent, thanks to its low density, robustness, mechanical exibility, chemical stability, as well as potentially being produced at low cost. 22,23 Compared to ITO, it also has a atter transmittance spectra in the visible and infrared range, highly desirable for solar cell and display applications.…”

“…However, these materials do not outmatch ITO, in terms of initial conductivity and environmental stability. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Currently, high-quality ITO films are prepared using a great variety of deposition techniques including, but not limited to, vacuum evaporation, magnetron sputtering (DC and RF), molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, chemical vapor deposition, spray pyrolysis, sol-gel reaction, etc. 17 Due to its superior controllability, high uniformity over large area substrates and high deposition rate, magnetron sputtering is the most widely used technique for thin film deposition.…”

“…Using flexible polymer substrates is only possible at low temperatures. 12 Current trends in flexible electronics also raise the issue of brittle behavior for polycrystalline ITO films and its derivatives (InZnO, InZnAlO, InGaZnO, InZnSnO, etc. ), which restricts their applications, in spite of their high transparency and low resistivity.…”
