Scientists at UCLA have developed a structure and method of fabrication for creating composite networks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and indium-tin-oxide (ITO), both commonly used transparent conductive network materials. Together this system provides high conductivity with high transparency, and added mechanical robustness.
Researchers at UCLA have identified the structure and enabling fabrication method for creating a multiple network of CNTs and ITO that demonstrates enhanced performance with respect to transparency, electrical conductivity, and mechanical durability. This reduces the required amount of ITO needed to achieve a superior film, and has a long list of advantages over previous transparent conductive networks.
