IDTechEx's portfolio of Advanced Materials & Critical Minerals Research Reports is one of its most diverse, covering the latest developments across many advanced materials including conductive inks, graphene, and more.

This article explores the emergence of alternative conductive inks for printed electronics. The rising cost of raw and bulk silver is causing the inflation of conductive inks that rely on silver flakes as a conductive element, and alternatives such as copper ink and carbon inks are being developed.

Innovations in renewable energy have never been so prevalent, with global decarbonization goals pushing for developments in ways to generate power that have no harmful or long-lasting environmental impacts.

As part of the device miniaturization trend happening worldwide, consumer electronics are becoming increasingly streamlined, with conductive inks, flexible batteries, and other technologies making this possible.

With graphene having been coined a 'wonder material' and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) serving niche and emerging applications, IDTechEx uncovers material truths in the form of research data that show the highlights and lowlights of these two advanced materials.

The surge in silver prices is placing increasing pressure on conductive ink manufacturers to develop alternative solutions for printed electronic applications, either with different conductive elements or lower silver content. This article details the technical challenges involved in developing a new ink formulation.

Dr Xiaoxi He discusses the value proposition of thin-film perovskite photovoltaics.

The ability to print electronics has revolutionized the miniaturization capabilities of technology. This article covers how streamlined, discreet, and flexible electronics are creating waves through the wearables and consumer device markets.

The global push toward decarbonization and renewable energy has kept next-generation solar technologies firmly in the spotlight. As analyzed in the newly released IDTechEx report "Perovskite Photovoltaics 2027-2037: Technologies, Markets & Trends", supported by government initiatives and surging private investments, perovskite photovoltaics (PV) remains one of the most intensely watched sectors in the energy transition.

The processes behind many modern technologies are underpinned by the advanced materials responsible for their function, including conductive inks, advanced coatings, and low-loss materials.
