A transparent conductor is provided that includes conductive nanoparticles and at least one of (a) a fluorinated acid polymer and (b) a semiconducting polymer doped with the fluorinated acid polymer. The nanoparticles are carbon nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, or a combination thereof. The carbon and metal nanoparticles are selected from nanotubes, fullerenes, and nanofibers. The acid polymer is fluorinated or highly fluorinated and has acidic groups including carboxylic acid groups, sulfonic acid groups, sulfonimide groups, phosphoric acid groups, phosphonic acid groups, and combinations thereof. Semiconducting polymers include homopolymers and copolymers derived from monomers selected from substituted and unsubstituted thiophenes, pyrroles, anilines, and cyclic heteroaromatics, and combinations thereof. The composition can be used in organic electronic devices (OLEDs). |
