Exploring the utility of graphene for thin conducting electrodes. Reprinted from [9]. Theoretical ranges are shown bound by black lines, as calculated using typical values with (32). (a) Transmittance as a function of wavelength for graphene, ITO and two other metal oxides, as well as SWNTs. (b) values as a function of thickness, illustrating the potential of graphene to achieve substantially lower for a given thickness. (c) Transmittance as a function of for the same materials. (d) Transmittance as a function of for a number of graphene fabrication methods: triangles, CVD; blue rhombuses, micromechanical cleavage (MC); red rhombuses, organic synthesis from polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); dots, liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) of pristine graphene; stars, reduced graphene oxide (rGO).
