  • Growth, Characterizations, and Applications of Patterned Nanostructured Thin Film

    Creator:
    Gao, Zhongwei
    Abstract:
    A unique microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis and printing process was studied for the fabrication of patterned metal oxide nanostructured thin films. The process uses a continuous flow microreactor to control and generate a reactive chemical flux that was transported to a patterned microfluidic channel. The microreactor-assisted nanomaterial synthesis process can generate...

  • Down-Shifting Nanoparticles and Anti-reflective Nanoparticles Co-Coating Applied on Top Glass Cover of Silicon-Based Solar Panels

    Creator:
    Jing, Qun
    Abstract:
    Photoluminescence (PL) materials have attracted a lot of attention in last several decades. Recently PL materials, which can convert low-efficiency Ultraviolet (UV) or Infrared (IR) light to high-efficiency visible light, have been widely applied in the research of improving conversion efficiency of solar cell. As one of the most common...

  • Low-temperature, Inkjet-printed p-Type Copper(I) Iodide-based Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Gorecki, Jenna Y.
    Abstract:
    Inkjet-printed p-type copper(I) iodide-based TFTs were successfully fabricated. As-printed copper(I) halide semiconductor films, such as CuI, CuBrI, and CuClI, were used as p-type active channel layers for TFTs. The entire process of the TFTs fabrication was maintained under 150 °C, which is compatible with flexible plastic substrates and transparent glass...

  • Iron Chalcogenide-based Thin Films Fabricated by Inkjet Printing

    Creator:
    Fang, Zhen
    Abstract:
    Digital printing techniques offer several advantages in manufacturing electronics such as direct writing of materials, reduction of chemical waste, and scalability. In particular, printing can significantly simplify manufacturing processes by directly defining the channel area, the gate, and the source and drain contacts, allowing for lower costs and higher throughput...

    Creator:
    Sun, Hao
    Abstract:
    Mg-MOF-74 is one type of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that is widely known for its excellent CO2 uptake capacity. More intriguingly, it can be used to detect low levels of toxic gas such as CO2. Currently, most research into Mg-MOF-74 focuses on using the powder type as a CO2 absorbent because...
