“…Undoubtedly, continuous growth of biodegradable and recyclable material portfolios for conductive, semiconductor and dielectric inks, and synthetic and natural polymeric substrates are fostered by the printing and post-treatment technologies, and optical inspection systems [12,13]. As a result, printing methods have gained a ground for large area fabrication of flexible electronics including radio frequency identification (RFID) devices; photovoltaic cells; organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs); thin film transistors (TFTs); diodes; displays; batteries; and sensors measuring temperature, humidity and pH levels [14][15][16][17]. These developments demonstrate that reliable and repeatable solutions for the mass production of printed electronics with well-defined manufacturing standards will be available in very near future.…”

We systematically investigated the effect of film-forming polyvinyl alcohol and crosslinkers, glyoxal and ammonium zirconium carbonate, on the optical and surface properties of films produced from TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs). In this regard, UV-light transmittance, surface roughness and wetting behavior of the films were assessed. Optimization was carried out as a function of film composition following the “random forest” machine learning algorithm for regression analysis. As a result, the design of tailor-made TOCNF-based films can be achieved with reduced experimental expenditure. We envision this approach to be useful in facilitating adoption of TOCNF for the design of emerging flexible electronics, and related platforms.

“…Commercially available screen‐printing pastes for several dye solar cell components exist, such as printable pastes for TiO 2 and catalyst layers. Now also inkjet‐printable Pt paste has been developed (Özkan et al, ). Making low temperature printing‐quality paste has been more difficult, since commonly used binders, such as terpinol, require high‐temperature burning step after printing.…”

Flexible dye‐sensitized solar cells are an intriguing photovoltaic technology, especially from the point of view of integration of photovoltaics into everyday objects, owing to these solar cells conforming easily to different nonplanar geometries and low‐intensity lighting conditions. However, the commercialization of these devices has not yet fully taken off due to few persisting gaps in the optimization of employed materials and processes. Herein, we focus on the recent progress on flexible dye sensitized solar cells, and how obstacles to larger‐scale production have been removed. There have been major advancements in diverse roll‐to‐roll compatible preparation methods of various cell layers, as well as in understanding the corrosion of metal electrodes in liquid electrolyte. We also pinpoint the remaining challenges for full commercialization of these technologies, one of which is reaching long‐term stability in which case sealing of the flexible device plays a major role. Furthermore, environmental considerations such as the life cycle assessment and the use of more sustainable materials in solar cell preparation are discussed.
