dc.description.abstractIn this paper, we present ITO-free hybrid transparent conducting electrodes that are based on bilayers of reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) and Copper Nanowires (CuNWs). The unique structural features of these in-house fabricated electrodes allowed for superior performance with an optical transmittance of 84% and sheet resistance of 21.7 Ω/sq obtained, showing their potential of becoming a replacement for ITO based electrodes. The fabricated hybrid electrodes exhibited extreme stability when subjected to various environmental and durability tests. Adoption of such high performance TCEs, will lead to simple, versatile and cost effective solutions for next generation optoelectronics industry.en_ZA
