ULTRASONIC SPRAY COATING OF CONDUCTING AND TRANSPARENT FILMS FROM COMBINED GRAPHENE AND CONDUCTIVE NANO FILAMENTS

摘要

An ultrasonic spray coating method of producing a transparent and conductive film, comprising (a) operating an ultrasonic spray device to form aerosol droplets of a first dispersion comprising a first conducting nano filaments in a first liquid; (b) forming aerosol droplets of a second dispersion comprising a graphene material in a second liquid; (c) depositing the aerosol droplets of a first dispersion and the aerosol droplets of a second dispersion onto a supporting substrate; and (d) removing the first liquid and the second liquid from the droplets to form the film, which is composed of the first conducting nano filaments and the graphene material having a nano filament-to-graphene weight ratio of from 1/99 to 99/1, wherein the film exhibits an optical transparence no less than 80% and sheet resistance no higher than 300 ohm/square.
