Bilayer and three dimensional conductive network composed by SnCl2 reduced rGO with CNTs and GO applied in transparent conductive films

Abstract Graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have their own advantages in electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties. An effective combination of these materials is ideal for preparing transparent conductive films to replace the traditional indiu...
