Abstract

Single-walled-carbon-nanotube (SWNT) films are prepared with high transparency, electrical conductivity, and uniformity, with exceptionally low surface roughness, on arbitrarily large substrates by ultrasonic spraying. This scalable process is ideally suited for large-area, solution-based production of SWNT electrodes for photovoltaics and other optoelectronic applications.
