Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A nanotube-graphene hybrid film and method for forming a cleaned nanotube-graphene hybrid film. The nanotube-graphene hybrid film includes a substrate; nanotube film deposited over the substrate to produce a layer of nanotube film; and graphene deposited over the layer of nanotube film to produce a nanotube-graphene hybrid film.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nanotube-graphene hybrid film, comprising: a quartz substrate; a doped nanotube film deposited over the quartz substrate to produce a uniform layer of nanotube film devoid of impurities on a surface of the uniform layer of nanotube film not contacting the quartz substrate, wherein the uniform layer of nanotube film comprises pentacene molecules, and wherein the doped nanotube film comprises a nanotube film doped with a butanol solution; a self-assembled monolayer of amine terminated groups positioned between the quartz substrate and the doped nanotube film, thereby increasing nanotube adhesion on the quartz substrate, wherein the self-assembled monolayer of amine terminated groups comprise monolayers of 3-Aminopropyl triethoxy silane; and graphene deposited over the surface of the uniform layer of nanotube film that is devoid of impurities to produce a nanotube-graphene hybrid film, wherein the graphene comprises solution-suspended graphene oxide flakes doped with sulfuric acid. 2. The hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the nanotube-graphene hybrid film is used as a coating for a transparent conductor. 3. The hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the layer of nanotube film further comprises a layer of carbon nanotube film. 4. The hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the layer of nanotube film further comprises a network of single wall carbon nanotubes. 5. The hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the nanotube-graphene hybrid film comprises a desired transparency. 6. The hybrid film of claim 1 , wherein the nanotube-graphene hybrid film comprises a nanotube-graphene hybrid film removed of impurities from a surface thereof.
