| Abstract Scope |
Nanoelectronic materials based on carbon nanotubes, graphene, and related two-dimensional materials have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation computing and quantum technologies. While device prototypes have been demonstrated on idealized research-scale samples, scalable manufacturing remains a challenge for nanoelectronic materials. In parallel, the field of printed and flexible electronics has made significant progress towards roll-to-roll additive manufacturing based on organic and nanoparticle inks. This talk will explore recent work aimed at uniting these efforts by demonstrating inks that combine the superlative properties of nanoelectronic materials with the scalable manufacturing of printed electronics. To achieve this objective, multiple design goals have been concurrently optimized including ink formulation, printed structure morphology, and control of interfacial properties. By achieving high levels of nanoelectronic material ink homogeneity and printing fidelity, a variety of high-performance applications will be presented including neuromorphic devices, photodetectors, optical emitters, supercapacitors, batteries, and sensors. |
