[Thin-Films] – Researchers still fail to print thin-film transistors with metal oxides onto heat-sensitive materials
29 septembre 2022
The bar was undoubtedly set high: In the research project Functional Oxides Printed on Polymers and Paper – FOXIP for short – the goal was to succeed in printing thin-film transistors on paper substrates or PET films. Electronic circuits with such elements play an important role in the growing Internet of Things (IoT), for example as sensors on documents, bottles, packaging … – a global market worth billions.

[Thin-Films] – Towards more efficient, non-toxic, and flexible thin-film solar cells
20 septembre 2022
While efficiency is a primary concern for solar cells, researchers have also focused on developing solar cells that are lightweight, low-cost, and flexible. However, the fabrication process itself has posed a serious environmental concern: the use of toxic materials and generation of industrial waste.
