Abstract

Transparent electrodes are manufactured. In accordance with various example embodiments, a transparent electrode is manufactured by generating a solution including a composite material having nanotubes and a conjugated polymer, in which the nanotubes constitute a majority of the composite material by weight. The conjugated polymer is used to disperse the nanotubes in the solution, and the solution is coated onto a substrate to form an electrode including a network of the carbon nanotubes.
