      abstract = {This book provides a systematic presentation of the  principles and practices behind the synthesis and  functionalization of graphene and graphene oxide (GO), as  well as the fabrication techniques for transparent  conductors from these materials. Transparent conductors are  used in a wide variety of photoelectronic and photovoltaic  devices, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), solar  cells, optical communication devices, and solid-state  lighting. Thin films made from indium tin oxide (ITO) have  thus far been the dominant source of transparent  conductors, and now account for 50% of indium consumption.  However, the price of indium has increased 1000% in the  last 10 years. Graphene, a two-dimensional monolayer of  sp2-bonded carbon atoms, has attracted significant interest  because of its unique transport properties. Because of  their high optical transmittance and electrical  conductivity, thin film electrodes made from graphene  nanosheets have been considered an ideal candidate to  replace expensive ITO films. Graphene for Transparent  Conductors offers a systematic presentation of the  principles, theories and technical practices behind the  structure-property relationship of the thin films, which  are the key to the successful development of  high-performance transparent conductors. At the same time,  the unique perspectives provided in the applications of  graphene and GO as transparent conductors will serve as a  general guide to the design and fabrication of thin film  materials for specific applications.},
