Abstract

Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) and two kinds of vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes were employed as raw materials to fabricate transparent conductive films (TCFs). DWCNTs constructed the densest conductive network at the same transmittance, and the corresponding TCFs showed the best performance (320 Ω/□ at 75.0% T). The ratio of dc conductivity to optical conductivity (σ_dc/σ_op) of the as-dispersed DWCNTs was 3.88. The as-obtained TCFs were dipped in HNO ₃ solution to improve their performances. Attributed to the removal of sodium dodecyl sulfate molecules, reduction of film thickness, and doping with electron acceptors (such as oxygen), the surface resistance after HNO ₃ treatment decreased. The σ_dc/σ_op ratio of the DWCNTs was further increased to 5.24.
