Abstract
Transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs) are incomparable class of materials that have outstanding optical transmission of electromagnetic wave in the visible light spectrum combined with very high conductivity at room temperature. They are required components in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, touch screen and displays. TCEs are essential for light transmission, collection and transport of charge carriers in photovoltaics. TCM act crucial role in hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs), influencing their stability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The most popular used TCEs are transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), but alternatives are being explored to address issues related to cost, flexibility, and material scarcity. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are material alternatives as Carbon-based TCEs. In this article will explore the fundamental optical and electrical properties of TCEs, highlight the challenges, innovations and potential future research directions.
