Chemically Functionalized, Well‐Dispersed Carbon Nanotubes in Lithium‐Doped Zinc Oxide for Low‐Cost, High‐Performance Thin‐Film Transistors

Surface-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are introduced into lithium-doped ZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) as an alternative to the conventional incorporation of an expensive element, indium. The crucial role of surface functionalization of CNTs is clarified with the demonstration of indium-free ZnO-based TFTs with a field-effect mobility of 28.6 cm2 V−1 s−1 and an on/off current ratio of 9 × 106 for low-cost, high-performance electronics.
