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

Nanowires for cell based bio-sensing

Researchers at Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology & Nano-science Center, University of Copenhagen, have demonstrated the low invasiveness of InAs NW arrays, which, combined with the unique physical properties of InAs, open up their potential for cellular investigations.

More details can be found in their recent paper in the journal Small Vol 7 (2011) 640, titled:
