Many electronic materials, in particular organic ones, can be turned into inks or pastes. This opens up exciting possibilities to fabricate electronic components and circuits by common printing methods.

Printed electronic transistor circuits and displays, in which the colour of individual pixels can be changed, are two of many applications of ground-breaking research at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, published in Science Advances.

Researchers at LiU’s Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed power paper – a new material with an outstanding ability to store energy. The material consists of nanocellulose and a conductive polymer.

Researchers at Linköping University and RISE have shown for the first time that it is possible to print complete integrated circuits with more than 100 organic electrochemical transistors. The result has been published in Nature Communications.

Moisture is a problem that can be both expensive and difficult for property owners. LiU’s Studenthuset has 750 built-in sensors that detect moisture at an early stage. The technology is based on LiU-based research into printed electronics.

A team that includes researchers from LiU has developed an electronic paper that can be manufactured on an industrial scale. Long-term uses of the paper include the construction of thin batteries and supercapacitors.
