Transparent and conducting electrodes

Due to the high cost, limited resources, and brittle nature of Indium Tin Oxide  (ITO), there has been ongoing hunt for new materials.

Few successful candidates are Silver nanowires, and Graphene. 

Though Graphene technology is being developed rapidly, it is not being used in the industry yet. While there are several companies dealing with such materials. 

Few of them are listed below:

USA:

Cambridge

Europe:
