“…[ 14 ] Compared to spheres, anisotropic silver and gold nanostructures such as Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have attracted enormous attention as a potential alternative renewable energy source because of their light weight, conformability, and low-cost solution processability. [ 1 ] Recent results surpassing 10% power conversion effi ciency (PCE) represent a major milestone [ 2 ] and give hope for prospects of commercialization. Ideally, a photovoltaic absorber should be thick enough to absorb most of the incoming sunlight.…”

By embedding various types of colloidal silver nanoprisms into both interfacial layers, significant and general enhancement in the device performances of multiple polymer solar cell systems is demonstrated. The increased device efficiencies are due to the cooperative optical enhancement, resulting in enhanced short‐circuit current densities. These results provide a powerful, general, and tunable means to enhance light harvesting at desired wavelength bands in existing and emerging organic photovoltaic materials.

“…24 Another of the more exotic examples of R2R-processed solar cells was presented by Hü bler et al who have prepared fully R2R-processed solar cells on paper using a combination of gravure and flexo printing. 17 The processing starts with gravure printing of a glue onto a paper substrate. The glue patterned paper is then brought into contact with a zinc-coated transfer foil, transferring the zinc only onto the patterned glue, and the surface of the zinc is then oxidized creating a thin hole blocking layer.…”

With the prospect of extremely fast manufacture of very low cost devices, organic electronics prepared by thin film processing techniques that are compatible with roll-toroll (R2R) methods are presently receiving an increasing interest. Several technologies using organic thin films are at the point, where transfer from the laboratory to a more production-oriented environment is within reach. In this review, we aim at giving an overview of some of the R2R-compatible techniques that can be used in such a transfer, as well the current status of R2R application within some of the existing research fields such as organic photovoltaics, organic thin film transistors, light-emitting diodes, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, and electrochromic devices.

“…[ 3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In order to make electronic devices applicable in unconventional environments at biotic/abiotic interfaces where conformal and intimate integration with biological systems is required, electronic devices with high mechanical fl exibility are demanded to conquer the mismatch between rigid silicon wafers with soft and curved biological surfaces. [6][7][8][12][13][14][15][16][17] Natural biomaterials have offered lasting inspirations and attractive building blocks for developing next-generation fl exible and biosustainable electronics, such as organic thinfi lm transistors, [18][19][20][21][22] organic displays and light-emitting devices, [ 23,24 ] and organic photovoltaics, [ 25,26 ] thus endowing them with environmental benignity and high performance, together with large-scale fabrication capability at low cost. [27][28][29][30][31][32] At the same time, due to their appealing properties including their biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioresorbability, and natural abundance, as well as their light weight, biomaterials have emerged as excellent candidates for the development of biointegrated electronic devices for biological-related applications, such as sensor skins, [33][34][35] biomedical diagnosis and therapy, [ 36,37 ] and brain-machine interfaces.…”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Flexible electronic devices are necessary for applications involving unconventional interfaces, such as soft and curved biological systems, in which traditional silicon-based electronics would confront a mechanical mismatch. Biological polymers offer new opportunities for flexible electronic devices by virtue of their biocompatibility, environmental benignity, and sustainability, as well as low cost. As an intriguing and abundant biomaterial, silk offers exquisite mechanical, optical, and electrical properties that are advantageous toward the development of next-generation biocompatible electronic devices. The utilization of silk fibroin is emphasized as both passive and active components in flexible electronic devices. The employment of biocompatible and biosustainable silk materials revolutionizes state-of-the-art electronic devices and systems that currently rely on conventional semiconductor technologies. Advances in silk-based electronic devices would open new avenues for employing biomaterials in the design and integration of high-performance biointegrated electronics for future applications in consumer electronics, computing technologies, and biomedical diagnosis, as well as human-machine interfaces.
