Flexible and Stretchable Devices from 0D Nanomaterials

Recent Development of Morphology‐Controlled Hybrid Nanomaterials for Triboelectric Nanogenerator: A Review

“…Such research has encouraged in development of the flexible electronic devices with the use of zero-dimensional nanomaterials. [21][22][23] The zero-dimensional (0D) nanomaterials exhibit unique blend of properties which are primary function of their shape and size and some of them include quantum confinement effect observed in quantum dots [24,25] and surface plasmon resonance [24,26] in noble metals nanoparticles. [24] In order to fabricate the flexible electronic devices based on 0D nanomaterials, several fabrication methods and patterning methods were developed.…”

“…By adjusting the extraction rate, the film thickness can be controlled from few nm to several 100 nanometers. [24,64,65]…”

“…The final aim is to produce high quality device which concludes the desired shape, and their layout, resolution to maximize the efficiency advantages. [24] Numerous kind of 0D nanomaterials are discussed in details.…”

“…Quantum confinement effect explains the dynamics of semi-conductor particle whose diameter is smaller than the Bohr radius because of which excitons (quasiparticle) are squeezed in a complete 3D trap. [24,36] The quasiparticle is a system which is considered similar to that of hydrogen like system comprising of an electron and a hole where Bohr model predicted the distance between electron and hole around 1-10 nm for most of the semiconductors.…”
