- Abstract
- Transparent conducting materials (TCMs) are essential components for a variety of optoelectronic devices, such as photovoltaics, displays and touch screens. In recent years, extensive efforts have been made to develop TCMs with both high electrical conductivity and optical transmittance. Based on material types, they can be mainly categorized into the following classes: metal oxides, metal nanowire networks, carbon-material-based TCMs (graphene and carbon nanotube networks) and conjugated conductive polymers (PEDOT:PSS). This review will discuss the fundamental electrical and optical properties, typical fabrication methods and the applications in solar cells for each class of TCMs and highlight the current challenges and potential future research directions.
