Abstract
A transparent, electrically conductive composite includes a layer of molybdenum oxide or nickel oxide deposited on a layer of zinc oxide layer. The molybdenum component exists in a mixed valence state in the molybdenum oxide. The nickel component exists in a mixed valence state in the nickel oxide. The composite may be utilized in various electronic devices, including optoelectronic devices. In particular, the composite may be utilized as a transparent conductive electrode. As compared to conventional transparent conduct oxides such as indium tin oxide, the composite exhibits superior properties, including a higher work function.
