Ice accretion causes problems in vital industries and has been addressed over the past
decades with either passive or active de-icing systems. This work presents a smart, hybrid …

This literature review highlights the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the
proliferation of connected devices as the driving force behind the adoption of smart spaces …

Due to the excellent performance and low cost of the new aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)
film, it is expected to replace the mature indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) film. The research …

Hybridization with other materials has been an effective method to improve the photoelectric
performance and stability of silver nanowire (AgNW) based transparent conductive films …

Four different step-by-step annealing modes based on furnace and/or laser annealing (ie F+
L, F+ F, L+ F and L+ L) were developed and compared with one-step furnace or laser …

Nanosecond pulsed laser annealing was performed to improve optical and electrical
properties of the Cu/Ag/AZO multilayer films. Different laser fluences (L) and scanning …

Recently, reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-overcoated AgNW films have emerged as high-
quality flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs). Although the rGO overcoating provides …

Spray-pyrolysis was used to successfully create ZnO and AZO (Al-doped ZnO) thin films on
glass substrates at various annealing temperatures. Structure, morphology, and optical …

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanostructured thin films were produced by spin coating of AZO ink.
The structural characteristics were determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning …

Al-doped ZnO thin films with varying Aluminium (Al) content were deposited by radio
frequency magnetron co-sputtering of two ZnO and Al targets in confocal configuration. A …
