“…Two types of functional inks are reviewed here: multiphase solid particle dispersions and reactive precursor solutions. The first includes nanocomposite pastes with inorganic nanoparticles dispersed into a polymer matrix (e.g., bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3 ) and antimony telluride (Sb 2 Te 3 ) particles in epoxy resins) and colloidal suspensions of metal or semiconductor nanoparticles in organic solvents [e.g., zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods or silicon (Si) nanoparticles in ethylene glycol and aqueous dispersions of antimony bismuth telluride (Sb 1.5 Bi 0.5 Te 3 ) and bismuth tellurium selenide (Bi 2 Te 2.7 Se 0.3 )] . A post‐processing annealing step is needed to recover functionality of the latter type.…”

“…Performance is further reduced by electrical interconnect resistances, which become significant for thin TE elements . Typical layer thicknesses of inkjet‐printed TE nanoparticle inks are in the range of ∼100–500 nm per layer compared to common substrate thicknesses of 10–100 µm, so multiple printing passes (2–150 passes in work reviewed here) and intermittent drying times are required, considerably decreasing throughput for large‐scale manufacturing processes.…”

“…Much research on printed functional materials studies material properties as a function of annealing methods and parameters such as time, temperature, and atmosphere. For inkjet‐printed Si nanoparticle inks, RTA has been compared to microwave and photonic annealing methods. Parameters included the inert and reducing atmospheres, nanoparticle surface functionalization with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA), and the amplitude, pulse length, and duty cycle of the photonic system.…”

“…Parameters included the inert and reducing atmospheres, nanoparticle surface functionalization with poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA), and the amplitude, pulse length, and duty cycle of the photonic system. Nanoparticles without PMA melt at a higher temperature (1200 °C) than functionalized nanoparticles (800 °C) because of a higher oxidation state. The evolution of stress in the films was found to be independent of annealing method, following a linear increase of tensional stress up to 800 °C beyond which stress was compressive.…”

Thermoelectric (TE) devices enable increased efficiency and performance by converting waste heat to usable electricity or providing solid-state, localized cooling. Large-scale implementation of the technology is hindered by power conversion efficiency, manufacturing challenges, and material and system costs. Traditionally, inorganic compounds like bismuth telluride and lead telluride are used for their high performance, but they are brittle, scarce, and toxic. Organic compounds have lower power conversion efficiencies, but they are flexible, abundant, low-cost, environmentally benign, and solution-processable, making them suitable for large-scale, high-throughput manufacturing techniques such as roll-to-roll printing. Inorganic-organic hybrid composite materials can boost power conversions efficiencies while maintaining ease of processing. This review summarizes and compares four manufacturing techniques-inkjet, screen, and dispenser printing, and stereolithography-used to fabricate TE devices. Common challenges relevant to printed TE materials and devices are described, and recent research results using these techniques are also reviewed. V C 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Spontaneous Generation of Electromotive Force in Thin Film Al/Nanosilicon/Al Structures

et al. 2017

Contemporary pursuits in electronics include the miniaturization as well as flexibilization of devices. Although there are a large number of different thin and flexible electrochemical batteries, only a few can boast the possibility of working in high humidity conditions. This paper reports on the fabrication of structures consisting of films of silicon nanoparticles encased between two aluminium electrodes. The value of electromotive force (emf) measured depends on the temperature of the sample and on the pressure of water vapor in the storage atmosphere and reaches approximately 1 V. Volt-ampere characteristics were investigated at different conditions to yield a model of emf generation in these structures. It was found that the reaction of water with silicon nanoparticles is the prime reason behind emf generation. Such a source may be introduced into electronic paper, and employed in the next generation of smart cards. The structure may also be manufactured directly on the surface of silicon chips, such as on the back of crystals in microschemes.
