Fabrication of Graphene-Metal Transparent Conductive Nanocomposite Layers for Photoluminescence Enhancement

摘要

In this work, the synthesis and characterization ofgraphene-metal nanocomposite, a transparent conductive layer, is examined. This transparent conductive layer is named graphene-Ag-graphene (GAG), which makes full use of the high electron mobility and high conductivity characteristics of graphene, while electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is induced by Ag nanoparticles (NPs). The nanocomposite preparation technique delivers three key parts including the transfer of the first layer graphene, spin coating of Ag NPs and transfer of the second layer of graphene. The GAG transparent conductive nanocomposite layer possess a sheet resistance of 16.3 ohm/sq and electron mobility of 14,729 cm2/(v s), which are superior to single-layer graphene or other transparent conductive layers. Moreover, the significant enhancement of photoluminescence can be ascribed to the coupling of the light emitters in multiple quantum wells with the surface plasmon Ag NPs and the EIT effect.
