Durable large-area thin films of graphene/carbon nanotube double layers as a transparent electrode

Langmuir. 2009 Oct 6;25(19):11302-6. doi: 10.1021/la9029744.

Abstract

We prepared durable, uniform, large-area ultrathin transparent films composed of double layers of reduced graphene oxide (RG-O) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via a self-assembly process. The adsorption of MWNTs onto RG-O films considerably decreased the sheet resistance of the films without compromising much on transparency. This self-assembly approach could be used to fabricate transparent electronic devices without post-transfer processes on a large scale.
