Abstract
Transparent conductors based on few-layer graphene (FLG) intercalated with ferric chloride (FeCl(3)) have an outstandingly low sheet resistance and high optical transparency. FeCl(3)-FLGs outperform the current limit of transparent conductors such as indium tin oxide, carbon-nanotube films, and doped graphene materials. This makes FeCl(3)-FLG materials the best transparent conductor for optoelectronic devices.
Highlights
Nowadays indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most wide spread transparent conductor in optoelectronic applications, the mechanical rigidity of this material limits its use for future flexible devices
Through a combined study of electrical transport and optical transmission measurements we demonstrate that FeCl3 enhances the electrical conductivity of few-layer graphene (FLG) while leaving these graphene-based materials highly transparent
We show that FeCl3-FLG are stable in air up to one year, which demonstrates the potential of these materials for industrial production of transparent conductors
