“…Several solution process techniques, including spin coating, 187,188 spray coating, 30,189 dip coating, 190 and solution-related soft lithography methods, [191][192][193] have been demonstrated to fabricate uniform transparent conductive CNT films. For example, Wu et al reported a simple filtration technique to deposit uniform SWCNT films on various substrates.…”

Abstract. Transparent conductive electrodes are one of the essential components for organic optoelectronic devices, including photovoltaic cells and light-emitting diodes. Indium-tin oxide (ITO) is the most common transparent electrode in these devices due to its excellent optical and electrical properties. However, the manufacturing of ITO film requires precious raw materials and expensive processes, which limits their compatibility with mass production of large-area, low-cost devices. The optical/electrical properties of ITO are strongly dependent on the deposition processes and treatment conditions, whereas its brittleness and the potential damage to underlying films during deposition also present challenges for its use in flexible devices. Recently, several other transparent conductive materials, which have various degrees of success relative to commercial applications have been developed to address these issues. Starting from the basic properties of ITO and the effect of various ITO surface modification methods, here we review four different groups of materials, doped metal oxides, thin metals, conducting polymers, and nanomaterials (including carbon nanotubes, graphene, and metal nanowires), that have been reported as transparent electrodes in organic optoelectronic materials. Particular emphasis is given to their optical/electrical and other material properties, deposition techniques, and applications in organic optoelectronic devices.

“…However, since the TF nanogenerators are designed using indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes to create a transparent device, the ITO-based nanogenerators have limited flexibility due to the ceramic structure of the ITO, and defects can easily be introduced if the device is overflexed. [9,10] Conventionally, metallic or metal oxide thin films have been used for transparent conductors in optical devices including light-emitting diodes and photovoltaics. [11] These transparent conducting films, however, have limited use in flexible optoelectronics due to their mechanical brittleness, chemical instability, and high cost (they often include noble or rare metals).…”
