Lead-free PEA₂SnI₄-based perovskite LEDs are successfully inkjet-printed on rigid and flexible substrates. Red-emitting devices (λ_max = 633 nm) exhibit, under ambient conditions, a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE_max) of 1% with a related brightness of 30 cd/m² at 10 mA/cm².

The soaring global demand for flexible, wearable and transparent devices has created an urgent need for new fabrication technologies that are both cost-competitive and eco-friendly. Printed electronics holds the promise of enabling low-cost, scalable solutions exploiting the ability of innovative materials to be used as processed inks onto a large area substrate. In this article, we demonstrate the direct drop-on-demand inkjet printing technology as a viable method for the fabrication of fully-printed metal–insulator–metal capacitors on a flexible substrate (Kapton®), where the high-k hafnium oxide (HfO₂) was selected as the dielectric. After a low-temperature annealing process, the deposited nanoparticle (NP)-based ink of HfO₂ showed high homogeneity and good integrity of the printed thin film by microscopy and spectroscopy studies. The fully-printed capacitors were characterized by field-emission scanning and transmission electron microscopies. X-ray diffraction patterns, as well as Raman scattering and Fourier-transform infrared spectra, revealed the presence of a polycrystalline solid layer, without solvent organic ink remains. The bonding structure of the HfO₂ layer and the interface with the Ag electrode was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The good performance of the thin film was proved by its relative permittivity, k = 12.6, and dielectric loss tangent, tan δ = 0.0125 at 1 MHz. Finally, the electrical current density–voltage and capacitance–voltage measurements have been studied in the frequency range from 10 kHz to 1 MHz. The obtained results indicate that MIM capacitors based on inkjet-printed flexible HfO₂ NPs work properly within the ITRS 2016 roadmap requirements.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have shown outstanding optical emissive properties and can be employed in several optoelectronics devices. In contrast with materials of well‐established technologies, which are prone to degradation or require expensive processes, MHPs can be obtained by solution processing methods and increase stability. Inkjet printing is proposed as an industrial friendly technique to deposit MHPs. The inks have been developed from colloidal CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals and printing procedures that allow the deposition of thin layers with intense green emission. High emissive printed layers are assured by carrying out thermal annealing in vacuum oven, which is demonstrated to promote compact layers with low roughness, corroborated by SEM and AFM. XRD measurements show CsPbBr₃ crystalline layers with cubic symmetry and XPS provides insight into the stoichiometric composition and local bonding. Optical properties of inkjet‐printed CsPbBr₃ films have been analyzed by UV–vis absorbance and photoluminescence (PL), to extract the bandgap energy and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). CsPbBr₃ printed layers emit at 524 nm with a narrow emission (FWHM ≈ 15 nm), exhibiting a PLQY up to 20%. These results enabled the large‐scale fabrication by inkjet printing of CsPbBr₃ color conversion layers (CCLs) and pave the way for flexible LEDs.

For the first time, large-area, flexible organic-inorganic tin perovskite solar modules are fabricated by means of an industry-compatible and scalable blade-coating technique. An 8-cell interconnected mini module with dimensions of 25 cm² (active area = 8 × 1.5 cm²) reached 5.7% power conversion efficiency under 1000 W/m² (AM 1.5G) and 9.4% under 2000 lx (white-LED).

Nowadays, inkjet-printed devices such as transistors are still unstable in air and have poor performances. Moreover, the present electronics applications require a high degree of reliability and quality of their properties. In order to accomplish these application requirements, hybrid electronics is fulfilled by combining the advantages of the printing technologies with the surface-mount technology. In this work, silver nanoparticle-based inkjet ink (AgNP ink) is used as a novel approach to connect surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto inkjet-printed pads, conducted by inkjet printing technology. Excellent quality AgNP ink-junctions are ensured with high resolution picoliter drop jetting at low temperature (∼150 °C). Electrical, mechanical, and morphological characterizations are carried out to assess the performance of the AgNP ink junction. Moreover, AgNP ink is compared with common benchmark materials (i.e., silver epoxy and solder). Electrical contact resistance characterization shows a similar performance between the AgNP ink and the usual ones. Mechanical characterization shows comparable shear strength for AgNP ink and silver epoxy, and both present higher adhesion than solder. Morphological inspections by field-emission scanning electron microscopy confirm a high quality interface of the silver nanoparticle interconnection. Finally, a flexible hybrid circuit on paper controlled by an Arduino board is manufactured, demonstrating the viability and scalability of the AgNP ink assembling technique.
