Preparation and Characterization of Transparent Electrodes Based on CNT-s Doped Metal Oxides

Abstract

In the present work, it is shown that carbon nanotube-doped transition metal oxides are potential candidates for use as ceramic transparent electrode materials. Used carbon nanotubes (CNT-s) are synthesized by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Electrodes in shape of fibers are obtained via inexpensive and low temperature sol-gel method. Due to extraordinary electrical and optical properties of CNT-s and good chemical and physical stability of metal oxide ceramics, resulting composites could be an interesting subject for industry.
