Low-temperature laser sintering of the printed nano-silver electrodes for flexible electronics

Gu W., Lin J., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

One of the key components in flexible electronics is the flexible electrode. Currently, the most commonly used printable electrode material is nano-silver ink which contains various additives.These additives, however, increase the electrical resistivity of nano-silver [...]

Gravure Printed Network Based on Silver Nanowire for Transparent Electrode

Lin J., Gu W., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech and Nanobionics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Transparent electrodes are critical components of optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and displays. Most high-performance transparent conducting films at present are composed of sputtered metal oxides, which have limited flexibility because [...]

Development of materials and printing methods for fabrication of thin-film transistors on flexible substrates

Zhao J.W., Gao Y.L., Gu W.B., Lin J., Chen Z., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech and nano-bionics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

In the present work, we attempted to put together a suite of technologies for printing TFTs on flexible substates. The ink materials we investigated include optimized SCNT inks as printable semiconductors, development of composite ion-gel [...]

Rectifying properties of printed hybrid organic/inorganic diode on a flexible substrate

Lin J., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

Printing as an additive fabrication method has in recent years attracted a great deal of attentions both in research community and industrial sectors, because of its low-cost and the capability of manufacturing electronic devices on [...]

Fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistors based on printable functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes

Zhao J., Lin J., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics (SINANO), CAS, CN

In this study, we reported a simple functionalization approach to preparing high-quality SWNT ink. We demonstrated that metallic species and small diameter semiconducting species in CoMoCat 76 could be effectively eliminated after reaction with 2, [...]

Plasmonic Enhancement in InGaN/GaN MQW System with Au Nanoparticles

Llopis A., Lin J., Neogi A., Pereira S.M.S., University of North Texas, US

In this article we report experimental evidence of plasmon based enhancement of an InGaN/GaN MQW system using Au nanocrystals. Enhancement of the main peak along with a blue-shift and change in the angle dependent PL [...]

Carbon Nanopipes dispersions in aqueous solutions and effects on cell viability

Whitby M., Lin J., Quirke N., Thanou M., Imperial College London, UK

The development of carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications appears highly attractive due to their nanoscale properties although their biological profile is still in doubt. Herewith, we report that the amorphous vs crystalline character of carbon [...]

Microstructure and Stability of Polymer Nanocomposite

Yin J., Wang X., Fan Y., Lin J., Lei Q., Harbin University of Science and Technology, CN

In this paper, the inorganic nanoparticles (SiO2, Al2O3) hybrid Polyimide (PI) films are prepared by Sol-Gel. The films are yellowish and transparent and the thicknesses are about 2050 m. The microstructure and nanoparticle distribution in [...]

Self-assembly of Deinococcus Radiodurans S-layer Proteins

Lin J., Tan T.S.T., National Tsing Hua Univ., TW

Proteins capable of self-assembly are crucial to many bio-architectures and have potential applications in nanotechnology. An example is the group of proteins used to construct crystalline surface layers (S-layers) in nearly all archaebacteria and many [...]
