Abstract
Single layer graphene as a transparent conductive electrode (TCE) suffers from high sheet resistance, low work function, and hydrophobicity. In this work, a hybrid TCE of single-layer graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT) and gold nanoparticles (Au NP) decoration is proposed. The hybridization of graphene with CNT enhances the electrical conductivity while maintaining its high transmittance. The Au NP decorated TCE shows a sheet resistance of ∼100 Ω/sq and transmittance of 96%. The potential of TCE is demonstrated in a solution-processed yellow organic light emitting diode (OLED). By introducing a thin layer of Al-doped zinc oxide between the Au NPs and graphene-carbon nanotube networks which increases the hydrophilicity of the surface, OLED with a current efficiency of ∼2.1 cd/A and a turn-on voltage of ∼5 V is obtained suggesting that this TCE can be a viable option for OLED-anode.
