Graphene is an excellent nanoscale allotrope of carbon in which carbon atoms are bonded through sp2 hybridization. Graphene itself or its thin film exhibits excellent transparency to visible light. Silver nanowires are also being used for making transparent electrodes. Herein, we prepared a thin film of reduced graphene oxide and silver nanowires on flexible PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate. Characterization of graphene oxide/reduced graphene oxide has been carried out through X-ray diffractometry, FTIR (Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy). Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and I-V measurements demonstrated high conductivity and transmittance of the above prepared film.
