Developments in the manufacturing technology of low-cost, high-quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are leading to increased industrial applications for this remarkable material. One of the most promising applications, CNT based transparent conductive films (TCFs), are an alternative technology in future electronics to replace traditional TCFs, which use indium tin oxide. Despite significant price competition among various TCFs, CNT-based TCFs have good potential for use in emerging flexible, stretchable and wearable optoelectronics. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in the fabrication, properties, stability and applications of CNT-based TCFs. The challenges of current CNT-based TCFs for industrial use, in comparison with other TCFs, are considered. We also discuss the potential of CNT-based TCFs, and give some possible strategies to reduce the production cost and improve their conductivity and transparency. 相似文献

Spin-capable carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are proposed as a promising material for transparent conductive films (TCFs) to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in optoelectronic and flexible applications. CNT-TCFs were prepared by a dry-spun method, a straightforward transfer process for fabricating CNT-based films. The effects of acid treatment on the electrical and optical properties of CNT-TCF were evaluated. After acid treatment, the CNT-TCF possesses a much higher electrical conductivity and slightly improved transparency compared to films that have not undergone acid treatment. The electrical properties of the CNT films were dramatically affected by the type of acid treatment. The CNT-TCF treated with a fuming acid treatment exhibited better performance than the CNT-TCF treated with immersion acid treatment only, with a low sheet resistance (210 Ω/sq) and high transmittance (90%) comparable to those of ITO films. 相似文献

We present an improved efficiency of polymer solar cell by incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). A power conversion efficiency of 2.66% was achieved for the device with 0.125 wt% SWCNTs, which is 16% improvement over control device without SWCNTs, primarily due to the increase in the photocurrent and fill factor. The results reveal that SWCNTs serve as effective and additional electron pathways, facilitating the electron transport and improving the interface contact between active layer and electrode. The improved contact area was evidenced by the increased root-mean-square surface roughness as SWCNTs concentration increases. However, the increased peak-to-valley value also indicates the possibility of short circuit in device, thus the concentration of SWCNTs has to be optimized. 相似文献

In the paper the mechanical, optical and electrical parameters of transparent conductive layers (TCLs) made of carbon nanotubes and metal conductive oxides are explored and compared. All investigated materials are deposited on transparent, flexible polymer foils used for solar cell applications. Obtained results are compared with available parameters of rigid transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) as well as literature reports about Indium–Tin Oxide (ITO) on flexible substrates. Presented paper is a report from the preliminary stage of a new flexible solar cell construction. 相似文献

The fabrication of flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) is important for the development of the next-generation flexible devices. In this study, we used double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) as the starting material and described a fabrication method of flexible TCFs. We have determined in a quantitative way that the key factors are the length and the dispersion states of the DWCNTs as well as the weight-ratios of dispersant polymer/DWCNTs. By controlling such factors, we have readily fabricated a flexible highly transparent (94% transmittance) and conductive (surface resistivity = 320 Ω sq−1) DWCNT film without adding any chemical doping that is often used to reduce the surface resistivity. By applying a wet coating, we have succeeded in the fabrication of large-scale conducting transparent DWCNT films based on the role-to-role method. 相似文献

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films have been prepared on glass substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The structural, optical, and electrical properties were strongly dependent on the growth temperatures. The lowest resistivity of 4.5 × 10−4 Ωcm was obtained at an optimized temperature of 350 °C. The AZO films deposited at 350 °C also had the high optical transmittance above 87% in the visible range and the low transmittance (<15% at 1500 nm) and high reflectance (∼50% at 2000 nm) in the near-IR region. The good IR-reflective properties of ZnO:Al films show that they are promising for near-IR reflecting mirrors and heat reflectors. 相似文献

Open rings of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were stacked to form porous networks on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrate to form a flexible conducting film (MWCNT-PET) with good electrical conductivity and transparency by a combination of ultrasonic atomization and spin-coating technique. To enhance the electric flexibility, we spin-coated a cast film of poly(vinyl alcohol) onto the MWCNT-PET substrate, which then underwent a thermo-compression process. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy of the cross-sectional morphology illustrates that the film has a robust network with a thickness of ~ 175 nm, and it remarkably exhibits a sheet resistance of approximately 370 Ω/sq with ~ 77% transmittance at 550 nm even after 500 bending cycles. This electrical conductivity is much superior to that of other MWCNT-based transparent flexible films. 相似文献

In this letter we present highly conductive and transparent thin films of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and conductive polymer composite deposited on polyethylene terephthalate film substrates by solution dipping. The initial results show that 66 Ω/? sheet resistance can be achieved with 80% transmission at the wavelength of 550 nm. This result is much superior to the performances of the pure SWCNT thin films deposited using the same technique. The improvement is attributed to the increase of effective electric conductive tube-tube junctions in the CNT network. 相似文献

Carbon nanotube (CNT) composite thin films were prepared on a single-crystal silicon substrate by a self-assembling process from a specially formulated solution. Rare earth solution (RES) surface modification and appropriate acid-treatment methods were used to functionalise carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Silane coupling regent (3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS)) was prepared first. The terminal thiol groups (–SH) in the film was oxidised to sulphonic acid groups (–SO3H) in situ to enhance the film with good chemisorption ability. Treated Caron nanotubes were deposited on the oxidised MPTS–SAM by means of chemisorption with the SO3H group. The surface energy, chemical composition, phase transformation and surface morphology of the films were analysed using contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscopy. As a result, a conclusion could be made that some lanthanum elements react with –SO3H groups on the surface of the substrate by a chemical bond, which will improve the bonding strength between the films and the CNTs. Since the CNT thin films were well adhered to the silicon substrate, it might find promising application in the surface-modification of single-crystal Si and SiC in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). 相似文献

We present double layer structures consisting of ZnO:B/ZnO:B (BZO) and In2O3:Mo (IMO)/BZO films. The structure offers the unique opportunity of separating the conductivity of transparent conductive oxides from their light scattering behavior and allows their optimization for use in thin film solar cells. The layers serve as carrier transport and light trapping layers, respectively. BZO films were prepared by mid-frequency magnetic sputtering from a ZnO:B2O3 ceramic target. In order to enhance the conductivity of the BZO films, hydrogen was introduced into the sputtering atmosphere. Introducing hydrogen increased the mobility of the BZO-based double layer films to near 30 cm2/V•s. Efficient scattering was achieved by etching the film in dilute hydrochloric acid. IMO films were also tested as the transport layer. An unconventional surface morphology was obtained by etching the IMO/BZO double layer film. Using this cascading multilayer structure IMO/BZO film as the front contact in a-Si:H solar cell, 20.4% and 7.4% enhancements in short circuit current density were obtained compared to smooth IMO films and textured single layer BZO films. 相似文献

We have prepared aluminum-doped Zinc oxide (AZO) thin films on glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering technique using ZnO ceramic target in pure argon gas with different aluminum concentrations. The bandgap of the ZnO films slightly widens with increase in Al content and the lowest sheet resistance of AZO films with Al concentration of 4.3 at.% was obtained. The effects of post-annealing treatment on structural, electrical and optical properties of the AZO thin films were investigated. Using AZO thin film with 4.3 at.% Al as the transparent substrate, a titanium dioxide based dye-sensitized solar cell was constructed and a solar to electrical energy conversion efficiency of 2.9% was achieved under AM 1.5 solar simulated sunlight. 相似文献

Moisture durability of ZnO transparent conductive films was achieved with Ga heavy doping by off-axis type rf magnetron sputtering. The resistivity of 10.9 at.% Ga-doped ZnO was 1.3 × 10−3 Ωcm and changed less than 5% of resistivity over a 9400-h reliability test at a temperature of 85 °C and humidity of 85%. The crystal structural analysis of the heavily Ga-doped ZnO films indicated that the c-axis was oriented in various directions as well as the perpendicular direction to the substrate surface. The heavily doped Ga disorders the crystal growth of ZnO films and forms a different crystal structure from conventional ZnO. 相似文献

AbstractThis work shows a simple, single-stage, scalable method for the continuous production of high-quality carbon nanotube-polymer transparent conductive films from carbon feedstock. Besides the ease of scalability, a particular advantage of this process is that the concentration of nanotubes in the films, and thus transparency and conductivity, can be adjusted by changing simple process parameters. Therefore, films can be readily prepared for any application desired, ranging from solar cells to flat panel displays. Our best results show a surface resistivity of the order of 300 Ω square-1 for a film with 80% transparency, which is promising at this early stage of process development. 相似文献

The nanoporous F:SnO2 materials prepared for the purpose of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) application are composed of SnCl4 (98.0%) and HF (48-51%), produce with a NH4OH aqueous solution with sol-gel method as a catalyst. Acetylene black is needed to make nano-porous from FTO heated until 120 °C that will change it from sol to gel and with that 2 phase sintering with 500 °C and 550 °C can be predicted to produce nano-materials. The preferred orientation indicates (110), (101), (211) for SnO2 and (200) for fluorine, respectively. The main IR features include resonances at 660, 620 and 540 cm− 1. From the FE-SEM results, the mean pore size of the sample is range of 16-38 nm. Finally, the nanoporous F:SnO2 film used for TCO layer of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) exhibited an energy conversion efficiency of about 1.83% at light intensity of 100 mW/cm2. 相似文献
