Equivalent Electrical Circuit Modeling of CNT-Based Transparent Electrodes

Among the various applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that have been investigated since the discovery of their exceptional potential in the electronic field, great interest has been directed towards the creation of carbon-based materials capable of replacing Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) as a transpare...
