Graphene-nanowire hybrid films have recently shown excellent performance as transparent conducting electrodes. However, due to their fundamental nonhomogeneity (grain boundaries, nanowire-nanowire junctions), self-heating induces hotspots along the co-percolating electrical conduction pathways. Although the steady-state characteristics of the hotspot temperature and location have been reported, the temporal response of the hotspots has not been studied in detail. In this paper, we use transient thermore-flectance imaging with high temporal resolution to quantify the transient characteristics of the hotspots. At local hotspots as well as nearby intermediate temperature regions, the temperature response in both heating and cooling phases exhibits two distinct time constants. We quantitatively determine the thermal time constants and associated amplitudes and show dependence of these parameters on distance from the contact. Based on solutions to heat diffusion equations, the short-time constant is attributed to the local self-heating within the hotspot region, and the long-time constant to diffusion of heat through the channel region. The knowledge of time evolution of hotspots and hence a more detailed understanding of the electrothermal conduction process through co-percolating networks could enable more reliable, advanced transparent conductors as well as one-dimensional/two-dimensional hybrid materials for other applications.
