Increasing development of micro-scale electronics has stimulated demand of the corresponding micro-scale power sources, especially for micro-batteries. However, complex manufacturing process and poor flexibility of the traditional stacked batteries have hindered their practical applications.

Researchers have discovered tiny 'greener' nanocrystals that can be manipulated to produce high-quality pictures and lighting in electronic devices such as televisions.

Our future TV and smartphone screens could have double the energy efficiency, thanks to a technique invented by scientists.

Over the past two decades, organic solar cells have garnered much attention thanks to their light weight, flexibility and unprecedented energy-to-weight ratios of 10 to 20 W/g, which make them a promising candidate for space applications, although their radiation stability is still poorly

CLEARink Displays and FLEx Lighting announce a collaboration to create the next generation ePaper display solution based on CLEARink's ePaper 2.0 and FLEx's ultra-thin front light.

Researchers have developed a new and inexpensive method to fabricate thin film electrode materials for supercapacitors that produce higher power at a lower cost.

Graphene is the thinnest and strongest material known to humans. It's also flexible, transparent and conducts heat and electricity 10 times better than copper, making it ideal for anything from flexible nanoelectronics to better fuel cells.

Graphene-based conductive inks were introduced commercially as early as 2009. These graphene printing inks can contain a very wide range of graphene loading, from up to 40% for use as non-transparent conductive inks or as little as 0.1% to 1% in transparent conductive ink applications depending on the level of conductance required.

IDTechEx interviewed Cédrick Chappaz, CEO of hap2U. IDTechEx previously interviewed Cédrick at CES 2017. Two and a half years later, the company has 23 people and recently secured a €4m investment from Daimler. This profile describes their latest technology development and commercial progress.

Every year IDTechEx Research publishes an article that reflects the latest trends in the conductive ink industry. These articles are based on IDTechEx Research's report "Conductive Ink Markets 2019-2029: Forecasts, Technologies, Players", which is the result of ongoing research over the past eight years. This year IDTechEx will give an update on multiple less mature trends which offer high growth potential.
