Abstract
- In this paper, hybrid transparent conductive films (TCFs) are designed by combining silver nanowires with the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the transparent heating films (THFs) based on the TCFs are evaluated for possible vehicle applications. By comparing the properties, including the transmittance, sheet resistance, microstructure and heating curves, we found that the SWCNTs/AgNWs are considerably suitable for making THFs. The after-treatment methods, such as physical method (hot roll pressing) and chemical method (nitric acid and Poly (diallydimethylammonium chloride) solution, (PDAC)) were researched in detail to optimize the sheet resistance and transparency to fit the THF requirements. A careful study of the different after-treatment methods revealed that hot roll pressing can quickly and efficiently improve the properties, while the nitric acid is more helpful than PDAC for the long-term stability. The results showed that a small amount of SWCNTs addition can promote the endurable maximum electric current by spreading the heat fast and efficiently, and the maximum current flow can be as high as 4 A. The thermal stability of the THFs and the de-frog performance were tested, indicating that the hybrid film had an advantage in resisting current shock and good thermal efficiency was obtained. The fabricated TCFs of stable thermal properties are qualified as a windshield-glass heater. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
