At present, materials for manufacturing transparent antennas mainly include metal grids, transparent conductive oxides (ITO), silver nanowires, graphene, ultrathin metal film composite structures, and the like. The ITO, silver nanowires and graphene materials have large sheet resistance, and the manufactured antenna has poor performance; the metal grid has excellent conductivity, and can meet the requirement of the antenna on the electrical property of the material, however, a plurality of problems still exist: (1) the metal grid cannot be subjected to shadow elimination treatment, and moire fringes can appear when the line width is large, so that the whole visual effect can be damaged due to the existence of the metal grid-based transparent antenna, and the metal grid-based transparent antenna is difficult to be used in the field with high requirement on the visual effect; (2) the thickness of the metal grid generally needs several micrometers to ensure the conductivity of the metal grid, and the bending property of the metal grid is inferior to that of a film material, so that the metal grid is not beneficial to application on irregular surfaces such as an arc surface and the like; (3) from the electrical characteristics, the ac sheet resistance of the metal grid becomes larger as the frequency increases, which limits its application in the field of high frequency, especially millimeter wave antennas.
Therefore, a transparent conductive material having high transmittance, a shadow-eliminating property, and high conductivity for a transparent antenna has yet to be developed.
