“…Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a type of nanomaterial with exceptional optoelectronic [2][3] and mechanical properties [4]. Due to the hollow structure, large specific surface area, good electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have received a lot of attention [5][6], because of these properties CNTs have used in different type of application [4] include thin film transistors, solar cells, sensors, supercapacitors, interactive display panels. Besides that, CNTs are also commonly used as thin film materials, particularly in the optoelectronics application.…”

CNT is a novel material with exceptional properties. SWCNT thin films have been used in many different applications. To fabricate the SWCNT film, various methodologies have been introduced, however, the problem of fabricating uniform SWCNT thin film remains unsolved. Spray coating technique (SCT) is the most effective method for producing a uniform SWCNT thin film. The CNT thin films were deposited on glass substrates via SCT with different nozzle distances (from 2.5 cm to 12.5 cm). The morphological, topological, electrical and optical properties of CNT thin films were characterized using appropriate techniques. The electrical analysis depicted that the sheet resistance of thin films reduced from 40220 Ω/sq. to 1330 Ω/sq. as the spray nozzle distance was increased from 2.5 cm to 10 cm sheet resistance reached 2133 Ω/sq. for 12.5 cm which confirmed the concentration of CNT was highest at 10 cm nozzle distance. The optical analysis of the CNT thin films gave transmittance values in percentage of 64%, 60%, 52%, 43%, and 46%, respectively for the nozzle distance of 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, and 12.5 cm. Transmittance percentage decreased from 2.5 cm to 10 cm nozzle distance, indicative of an uniform film coverage of CNT layer. The findings of this study could be a platform for producing an optimized CNT thin film using a SCT for optoelectronic devices.
