Printed, Flexible and Organic Electronics

Researchers, have created ink for an inkjet printer from a highly conductive type of two-dimensional material called MXene. Recent findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest that the ink can be used to print flexible energy storage components, such as supercapacitors, in any size or shape.

Scientists have developed and patented the fabrication of transparent, luminescent material they say could give smartphone and television screens flexible, stretchable, and shatterproof properties.

A collaboration deepens the understanding of the impact that changing the materials in a perovskite solar cell has on its performance. The results will help rationalize the design of the components of cells, thus increasing their commercial appeal.

Liquid-metal mixture bends the rules on flexible and highly conductive materials for wearable devices.

Researchers have found an unprecedented, economical method for creating high-performance inorganic thin films, or "epitaxial" films, used in the manufacture of semiconductors for flexible electronics, LEDs and solar cells.

The automotive industry has emerged as a significant market opportunity for suppliers of conductive pastes and similar materials. It has the potential to one day rival in significance the irreplaceable photovoltaic market. Almost every major paste supplier with a global profile is re-organising its team and its product portfolio to capture this rising trend.

The Urban signs, installed at the bus stops of the international arrivals terminal, each feature two 13.3"electronic paper screens, both providing Real Time Passenger Information to commuters.

Evonik is unveiling TAeTTOOz®, a new material technology for printable batteries that has been developed on the basis of what are known as redox polymers by Creavis, the strategic innovation unit of Evonik.

Lithium batteries are what allow electric vehicles to travel several hundred miles on one charge. Their capacity for energy storage is well known, but so is their tendency to occasionally catch on fire - an occurrence known to battery researchers as "thermal runaway."

JOLED Inc has been developing the world's first printed OLED display mass-production lines, and started building production lines for the post-process at the recently established JOLED Chiba Site.
