Graphene is a promising alternative to indium tin oxide for use in transparent conducting electrodes. We review recent progress in production methods of graphene and its applications in optoelectronic devices such as touch panel screens, organic photovoltaic cells, organic light emitting diodes and thin film transistors. In addition, we discuss important criteria such as optical transmittance, electrical conductivity and work function, which are critical considerations in the integration of graphene conductive films with optoelectronic devices.

Background: Nanowires (NWs) have received extensive attention as the candidate materials for transparent conductive films (TCFs) in recent years. To date, the aligned nanowire (NW)-based TCFs with the same arrangement direction have shown superior characteristics to their random counterparts in applications. Objective: To fully develop the potential of NW TCFs in devices and provide inspiration for the development of subsequent NW alignment processes, this review summarizes state-of-the-art alignment techniques and emphasizes their mechanisms in detail from multiple perspectives. Methods: According to the mechanism of NW alignment, this review divides these techniques into seven categories, i.e., the assisted assembly of fluid flow, meniscus, pressure, template, electromagnetic field, contact and strain, and analyzes the characteristics of these techniques. Moreover, by briefly enumerating the applications of aligned NW films in solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and touch screens, the superiority of aligned NW films over random NW films is also addressed. Results: Contact-assisted assembly exhibits the best arrangement effect, reaching a 98.6% alignment degree within ±1°. Under the same conditions, shorter NWs show better alignment in several cases. The combination of various assembly techniques is also an effective means to improve the alignment effect. Conclusion: There is still room for improvement in the precise control of NW position, density and orientation in a simple, efficient and compatible process. Therefore, follow-up research work is needed to conquer these problems. Moreover, a process that can realize NW alignment and film patterning simultaneously is also a desirable scheme for fabricating personalized devices.

In this work we present a detailed analysis of the current-voltage variance from tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3) based organic light emitting diodes using general-purpose photovoltaic device model (GPVDM) software as a function of: the choice of C60, the thickness of emission layer and hole-transport layer. The electrical and optical parameters of all layers were extracted from the material directory available in GPVDM. The calculations fully consider dispersion in glass substrate, indium tin oxide anode, the organic layers as well as the dispersion in the metal cathode. As expected, applied voltage was strongly dependent on the thickness of the function layer inside the devices. Finally, guidelines for designing devices with optimum turn-on voltage and thickness are presented.
