“…Moreover, poly(ethylene) and polypropylene have low melting temperatures of 105–130 °C and 130–170 °C, respectively, whereas the glass transition temperature of poly(ethylene terephthalate) is approximately 70 °C . The bending radius of transparent conducting oxides on plastics is limited (typically ≈5 mm) if the conductivity and transparency are to be maintained . These constraints are posing challenges in realizing flexible and deformable electrochromics, which has attracted attention towards emerging flexible transparent conductors, for which some of the approaches will be illustrated below.…”

Electrochromic (EC) technology has progressed tremendously in recent years. Rigid EC devices have advanced to offer additional attractive physical attributes such as flexibility, stretchability, and foldability. These features are appealing for wearable and futuristic technologies, and hence serve to revolutionize EC applications toward deformable electronics. In this review, the essential prerequisites of each component of the flexible EC devices are delineated, such that each component is mechanically flexible to maintain the structural integrity of the device. The recent progress in flexible EC performance is discussed, from flexible to stretchable and the foldable device being the latest trend in deformable electronics. Next, we address the pertinent challenges often encountered in the fabrication of flexible EC devices and outline the adopted strategies from the literature to this point. Finally, the concept of the multifunctional EC device is discussed for achieving versatile emerging applications. We envision that this review will shed light on the properties of flexible ECs and shape the new milestones to be set for realizing a more versatile multifunctional EC device.

“…Indium tin oxide (ITO) film has many optical and electronic applications due to its high conductivity(10 −4 Ω cm) and high transparency (85%‐90%) to visible light . ITO transparent electrode layers are widely used in displays, light‐emitting diodes, touch screens and thin film solar cells . As to ITO film deposition, DC and RF magnetron sputtering are the most attractive techniques for industrial development because of high deposition rate, good reproducibility and scalability .…”

Spray‐combustion synthesis of indium tin oxide nanopowder

Nanocrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) powders were prepared by a novel spray combustion method. Using single-drop study equipment, we studied the thermodynamics of the combustion reaction. The reaction can be ignited at air temperature as lower as 171.3°C when using urea and glucose as composite fuel. Once the reaction is ignited, the combustion temperature can surge to above 500°C, generating nanocrystalline ITO powders with grain size about 40 nm. Footages from high-speed camera demonstrated that the reaction is in three-step: moderate beginning, violent middle, and decaying end. It is also noticed that the ignition is very sensitive to the air temperature, even 0.2°C minus deviation may fail the combustion. The combustion reaction is self-sustainable, which saves the energy supply. And the low ignition temperature means the combustion reaction can be carried out in a conventional spray dryer. Our results provide a feasible way to mass production of nanocrystalline ITO powders, which as a methodology, may be extended to the production of other oxide nanopowders.

Particulate matter (PM) is a major air pollutant in many regions, jeopardizing ecosystems and public health. Filtration at pollutant source is one of the most important ways to protect the environment, however, considering the high-temperature exhaust gas emissions, effective removal of PM and related pollutants from their sources remains a major challenge. In this study, a resilient, heat-resisting, and high-efficiency PM filter based on yttria-stabilized ZrO (YSZ) nanofiber sponge produced with a scalable solution blow spinning process is reported. The porous 3D sponge composed of YSZ nanofibers is lightweight (density of 20 mg cm ) and resilient at both room temperature and high temperatures. At room-temperature conditions, the YSZ nanofiber sponge exhibits 99.4% filtration efficiency for aerosol particles with size in the range of 20-600 nm, associated with a low pressure drop of only 57 Pa under an airflow velocity of 4.8 cm s . At a high temperature of 750 °C, the ceramic sponge maintains a high filtration efficiency of 99.97% for PM under a high airflow velocity of 10 cm s . A practical vehicle exhaust filter to capture particles with filtration efficiency of >98.3% is also assembled. Hence, the YSZ nanofiber sponge has enormous potential to be applied in industry.
