Abstract

Transparent conducting films (TCFs) with high flexibility were successfully prepared by using graphene oxide (GO) and silver nanowire (Ag NW) hybrids. Forty-nanometerthick GO layers were coated on three different substrates, polyethylene terephthalate, glass and quartz, by capillary flow as a driving force during solvent evaporation of GO dispersions. Ag NW networks were formed on the GO layers by electrostatic force by dip coating. Melting and fusion of the Ag NWs after thermal annealing dramatically increased their contacts to the GO layers, resulting in mechanically stable and flexible TCFs with a transmittance of 86% and a sheet resistance of 150Ω/□, which is comparable to indium tin oxide.
