Abstract

Transparent conductive films (TCFs) are widely used in solar cells, transistors, displays, sensors, and energy storage systems. New devices are setting additional criteria for TCFs: in addition to good optical transmittance and electrical conductivity, good chemical and thermal stability, compatibility with other device components, ease of integration in flexible electronics, and obviously low-cost are desirable. Since indium tin oxide (ITO) films cannot fulfill all these requirements, other options are sought. There are several promising alternatives involving networks of single component (e.g., carbon nanotubes (CNTs), Ag or Cu nanowires (NWs)) or multi-component (e.g., CNT/Ag NW, graphene/Cu NW, etc.) TCFs. Specifically, multi-component hybrid nanostructured films, in which the overall film performance can be improved due to synergy between individual components, are of a great importance in development of new TCFs. In this chapter, we present an overview of progress made in fabrication of hybrid nanostructured TCFs based on the assembly of one dimensional (1D) metal nanowires and two dimensional (2D) graphene films. Optoelectrical properties of such films can be comparable to/or better than ITO films. The concept of nanostructured hybrid films is expected to open up possibilities for developing next generation TCFs with multiple functionalities.
