title: Hybrid thin films of graphene nanowhiskers and amorphous carbon as transparent conductors.
abstract: A new form of hybrid carbon-based thin film was prepared via a pyridine chemical vapour deposition method. The as-obtained films consist of agglomerated flowerlike graphene nanowhiskers embedded in a uniform matrix of amorphous carbon. Schottky solar cells made from the hybrid films and n-type silicon show conversion efficiencies of approximately 1% under AM 1.5 illumination.
