1. A method for fabricating a transparent conductor, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a dispersion comprising a first plurality of conductive components and a solvent;
applying the dispersion to a substrate in an environment having a first atmospheric humidity, wherein a selected first surface resistivity of the transparent conductor is based on the first atmospheric humidity; and
causing the solvent to at least partially evaporate such that the first plurality of conductive components remains overlying the substrate.

Abstract
Transparent conductors and methods for fabricating transparent conductors are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method for fabricating a transparent conductor comprises forming a dispersion comprising a plurality of conductive components and a solvent, applying the dispersion to a substrate in an environment having a predetermined atmospheric humidity that is based on a selected surface resistivity of the transparent conductor, and causing the solvent to at least partially evaporate such that the plurality of conductive components remains overlying the substrate.
