Today a wide range of potential applications for printed electronics and printed functionalities are under development and many young companies are working on the industrialisation. Different printing technologies such as screen printing or inkjet printing are used for applying several types of inks, for instance organic and metal based ones, on different substrate materials (e.g. polymers, papers, glass). Next to the deposition of these materials with the appropriate printing technology, post-treatment processes such as curing, drying and sintering play a key role to evolve a function (e.g. conductivity, semiconducting or dielectric properties) of the printed layers.
Invinity to build 20MWh flow battery in UK
Redux flow cells have had nowhere near the R+D effort compared to Lithium ion. They certainly have the potential (pun not intended) for longer...
