High-performance transparent conductive pyrolyzed carbon (Py-C) ultrathin film

Abstract

This study proposes a substrate independent, large-area synthesis strategy for pyrolyzed carbon (Py-C) ultrathin films directly on various target substrates. The Py-C film has opto-electro-mechanical properties comparable to those of graphene. We demonstrated a highly flexible pixelated display composed of the Py-C film. The Py-C film showed remarkable performance as a protective layer against Cu oxidation and the chemical etching of ITO.
