| Abstract Scope |
Solution-processed nanocomposite thin films have significant potential for next-generation optoelectronic devices; however, scalable fabrication remains a major challenge. While spin coating is widely used to produce high-quality thin films, it is limited by poor scalability and material waste. In this work, a 3D-printed slot-die coating platform is developed as a low-cost, customizable alternative for fabricating perovskite-based nanocomposite thin films. This study compares the fundamental coating physics of slot-die coating and spin coating to evaluate their influence on thin-film formation. Processing parameters, including solution flow behavior, solvent evaporation, coating uniformity, and film thickness, are investigated alongside film morphology and structural characteristics to establish process–structure relationships. By integrating additive manufacturing with solution-processed deposition, this work aims to advance scalable and cost-effective fabrication strategies for perovskite nanocomposite materials and support the transition of next-generation optoelectronic technologies from laboratory research to industrial production. |
