Abstract: Fabrication techniques are disclosed for the formation of electrically conductive, optically transparent films of exfoliated graphite nanoparticles (EGN). The techniques allow the controlled deposition of EGN nanoplatelets (graphene sheets) and other nanoparticles (e.g., metals, metal oxides) in compact monolayer or multilayer film structures. The compact films have high electrical conductivities and optical transparencies in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. A first method relates to the deposition of nanoparticles onto a substrate from a bulk suspension using a convective assembly technique. A second method relates to the suspension deposition of EGN nanoplatelets from a from a liquid-liquid interface onto a substrate. Both methods can be used to form EGN film-coated substrates. The second method also can be used to form multilayer, free-standing, defect-free EGN films.
