Background technology
As the important component part of opto-electronic device, transparent conductive film has a wide range of applications in fields such as liquid-crystal display (LCD), organic solar batteries, organic light emitting diodes (LCD).Tin indium oxide (ITO) relies on its high conductivity and light transmission, has become current main transparent conductive film material.Yet because the preparation of ITO is costly and starting material are rare and the continuous rise of price, the fragility of ITO also makes its performance requriements that can't satisfy some new application simultaneously, therefore, needs the equivalent material of exploitation ITO badly.
The electroconductibility that Graphene is good and light transmission make it that good application prospect be arranged aspect transparent conductive film.Compare with the ITO material, Graphene has higher intensity and better toughness, as transparent conductive film, can make can bending fold display device.
At present, the preparation method of transparent graphene conductive film mainly contains: CVD method and based on the method for graphene oxide or graphene dispersing solution.The CVD method can obtain the more perfect high-quality graphene of structure, yet the CVD method still exists the more high defective of equipment requirements.Be the method that raw material prepares transparent conductive film based on graphene oxide or graphene dispersing solution, because the method cost is lower, suitability is stronger etc., can satisfy the application demand of different field.
At present, the method for preparing graphene conductive film based on graphene oxide or graphene dispersing solution mainly contains: electrophoretic deposition, layer assembly method, vacuum filtration method, spin coating method, injection cladding process etc.Compare with other method, that electrophoretic deposition has is easy and simple to handle, be easy to control, cost is lower, be suitable for the advantage such as mass-producing preparation, but the method only has a small amount of report at present.
