SIMULATION OF OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL BEHAVIORS ON REGULAR ARRAYS OF CARBON NANOTUBES BASED TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE ELECTRODES

摘要

Carbon nanotube (CNT) networks have promised potentiality for the fabrication of transparent conductive electrodes due to their higher transmittance and low sheet resistance. The crossed CNTs in the CNT networks form a large number of pores. The incident light will pass through these pores without any block. These open areas of pores can be controlled by adjusting the density and thickness of CNTs. The electrical and optical properties of CNT network depend on the density and thickness of CNTs. To date, there is still large room for improving the optical and electrical performance of CNT networks as optimal transparent conductive electrodes.
