Development of graphene based transparent electrode

Graphene based transparent electrode was developed with the technique of spin coating of Ag nanowire (NW) and graphene oxide (GO). The best properties obtain with this method is was optical transmittance of 82.2% at 700 nm light and 80.1% at 550 nm light with 1mm thick PC substrate included and shee...
