Gas and water permeation barrier films play a vital part in applications ranging from food and pharmaceutical packaging to electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, like graphene, are highly promising as ultra-high barrier materials, and their atomic thinness, mechanical stability, optical transparency and thermal properties offers many new possibilities and device form factors.

Researchers can optimize the performance of multi-layered, post-fabricated organic photovoltaic devices doped with gold nanoparticles by using combined X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence.
