摘要: Abstract Thin single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) films have been fabricated by drop-casting from SWNT dispersions in the volatile organic solvent, n -butylamine. This solvent can be removed a simple annealing step which leads to substantial improvements both transparency and conductivity of films. The key factor this increase is reduction barriers networks upon surfactant removal, leading enhanced conduction variable range hopping. Contributions increased also arise thermally activated current at temperatures above ∼225 K small metallic contribution visible below ∼3 K.
