“…Hybrid electrodes based on emerging materials have been recently investigated, with the hope that the mixed material electrode will have advantages over either material independently. One such example is to incorporate CNTs into a sputtered ITO film, to impart electrical stability under the types of strain that typically lead to ITO film cracking 243, 244. This type of film could potentially find applications in resistive touch panels or other flexible devices.…”

Transparent electrodes are a necessary component in many modern devices such as touch screens, LCDs, OLEDs, and solar cells, all of which are growing in demand. Traditionally, this role has been well served by doped metal oxides, the most common of which is indium tin oxide, or ITO. Recently, advances in nano-materials research have opened the door for other transparent conductive materials, each with unique properties. These include CNTs, graphene, metal nanowires, and printable metal grids. 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. Electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of each material will be discussed, as well as suitability for various applications.

“…As a result, metal nanowires [4,5], conducting polymers [6,7], carbon nanotube networks [8,9], graphene films [10], hybrid thin films [11][12][13][14][15], and metal meshes [16][17][18][19][20][21] have emerged as possible candidates. Among them, metal meshes appear to be promising TCF candidates due to their low sheet resistance and high feasibility of mass production using the roll-to-roll printing process.…”

Bulk anodization of Al was successfully carried out at 300 V by controlling the concentrations of phosphoric acid and ethanol used during processing. Optimized anodic aluminum-oxide (AAO) patterns were transferred onto a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film through an imprinting process. The open ratio of the AAO patterns and the PDMS patterns were examined as a function of the pore widening time. The open ratio of the AAO pattern obtained from a 90-min widening process was 85.8%. PDMS patterns were then obtained by imprinting the aforementioned AAO rolls onto the PDMS surface. The open ratios of the PDMS patterns ranged from 79.6 to 82.7%.

“…[8][9][10][11] Chemical vapor deposition methods, [12] compared to arc discharge [1] and laser ablation, [13] are favored methods for the synthesis of CNTs [14] due to the low cost and high yield of the process. However, they are rather time consuming and suffer from demanding reaction conditions, in particular the required high temperatures.…”

The microwave (MW)‐assisted synthesis of one dimensional carbon systems is introduced as a promising approach to improve the speed and cost‐effectiveness of the fabrication process. Improved reaction conditions are generated by direct MW heating and synthesis under advanced reaction conditions. The influence of the reaction conditions is investigated and the importance of individual process parameters on the synthesis is discussed. Temperature and pressure data recorded during the irradiation process are analyzed in detail and allow the determination of essential process parameters. This leads to improved reaction conditions, better control of the one‐dimensional carbon nanosystems by tuning the catalyst materials, and allows expanding this approach to initiate the synthesis on a variety of different substrates, such as quartz glass and mica.
