“…The performance of the circuit presented here does not inhibit the implementation of CMOS on paper, thus creating an opportunity for light weight, low cost and fully recyclable complementary circuits–green electronics. This is expected to create applications in disposable and recyclable electronics that range from smart labels, tags, sensors and memories to TFT driven electro‐chromic paper displays, batteries499, 500 and integrated systems.…”

Transparent electronics is today one of the most advanced topics for a wide range of device applications. The key components are wide bandgap semiconductors, where oxides of different origins play an important role, not only as passive component but also as active component, similar to what is observed in conventional semiconductors like silicon. Transparent electronics has gained special attention during the last few years and is today established as one of the most promising technologies for leading the next generation of flat panel display due to its excellent electronic performance. In this paper the recent progress in n- and p-type oxide based thin-film transistors (TFT) is reviewed, with special emphasis on solution-processed and p-type, and the major milestones already achieved with this emerging and very promising technology are summarizeed. After a short introduction where the main advantages of these semiconductors are presented, as well as the industry expectations, the beautiful history of TFTs is revisited, including the main landmarks in the last 80 years, finishing by referring to some papers that have played an important role in shaping transparent electronics. Then, an overview is presented of state of the art n-type TFTs processed by physical vapour deposition methods, and finally one of the most exciting, promising, and low cost but powerful technologies is discussed: solution-processed oxide TFTs. Moreover, a more detailed focus analysis will be given concerning p-type oxide TFTs, mainly centred on two of the most promising semiconductor candidates: copper oxide and tin oxide. The most recent data related to the production of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices based on n- and p-type oxide TFT is also be presented. The last topic of this review is devoted to some emerging applications, finalizing with the main conclusions. Related work that originated at CENIMAT|I3N during the last six years is included in more detail, which has led to the fabrication of high performance n- and p-type oxide transistors as well as the fabrication of CMOS devices with and on paper.

[197][198][199] Although the cellulose paper has lower performance than the commercially implemented microporous polymer separators it is considered that its integration into the Li-ion battery value chain will lower the production costs and make the manufacturing process environmentally benign. [ 200,201 ] At the same time, the hygroscopic nature of cellulose based paper, the absence of a thermal shutdown effect and need of thicker paper to avoid dendrites growth through the large pores of the paper are some of the issues that must be solved before targeting large scale industrial implementation.…”

all need to be used in conjugation with an energy storage system to provide smooth power leveling. Currently, electrochemical energy storage systems are by far the most optimal solutions for powering a broad range of technologies, expanding from compact and light-weighted portable electronic devices to stationary gridscale energy storage applications. [3][4][5][6] These energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors) store the available electrical energy in the form of chemical energy and release it whenever needed, by simply reversing the electrochemical reaction. [7][8][9][10][11] Among various available battery chemistries, lithium batteries and supercapacitors are the most promising technologies. [ 7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Ever since the realization of the fi rst electrochemical energy storage cell by Alessandro Volta (end of 17th century), the working principle and its function has changed very little. [ 21,22 ] Basically, two redox couples (or charge storage electrodes), electrically and physically separated, are bridged by an ion conducting medium to constitute an electrochemical cell. This holds true also for modern Li-ion batteries, although the chemistry involved is much more complex. During operation, the electrons are transferred through an external circuit while ions shuttle through the electrolyte to counterbalance the depleted charge at the electrodes. [ 23 ] So far, much of the effort has been directed towards improvement of the energy and power characteristics by downsizing the active components, re-engineering the current collectors and separators, as well as fi ne-tuning the Batteries have become fundamental building blocks for the mobility of modern society. Continuous development of novel battery chemistries and electrode materials has nourished progress in building better batteries. Simultaneously, novel device form factors and designs with multi-functional components have been proposed, requiring batteries to not only integrate seamlessly to these devices, but to also be a multi-functional component for a multitude of applications. Thus, in the past decade, along with developments in the component materials, the focus has been shifting more and more towards novel fabrication processes, unconventional confi gurations, and additional functionalities. This work attempts to critically review the developments with respect to emerging electrochemical energy storage confi gurations, including, amongst others, paintable, transparent, fl exible, wire or cable shaped, ultra-thin and ultra-thick confi gurations, as well as hybrid energy storage-conversion, or graphene-incorporated batteries and supercapacitors. The performance requirements are elaborated together with the advantages, but also the limitations, with respect to established electrochemical energy storage technologies. Finally, challenges in developing novel materials with tailored properties that would allow such confi gurations, and in designing easier manufacturing techniques that can be widely adopted ar...

“…Figure A shows a schematic presentation of the general principle of paper battery construction. To prepare it, one face of a paper sheet was coated by 150–200 nm thick copper and another by aluminum of the same thickness . Cellulose served as a substrate for the metals and provided their electrolytic connection through water absorbed by its fibers.…”

Cellulose possesses excellent properties, but its performance characteristics do not satisfy human requirements completely, which has soured a constant effort to improve its features. Currently, cellulose is combined with inorganics in a process called mineralization that results in a novel type of materials referred to as bio-nanocomposites. There are many examples of mineralized tissues with superior properties in living nature. This circumstance gives us a reason to biomimic them by compounding biopolymers with inorganics. Here, the main mineralization techniques, properties, structure, functionality, and application of mineralized cellulose are the focus. Cellulose can be combined with inorganics through the vapor phase or by the methods of wet chemistry. Much attention has been paid to sol-gel chemistry, which is of first importance in cellulose mineralization. Inorganics can protect polysaccharides, regulate hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity, and impart self-cleaning, antimicrobial and conducting properties, which not only improves them but results in bio-nanocomposites with novel functionalities and performance, not known before for cellulosic materials. Further calcination and carbonization of mineralized cellulose under mild conditions give nanosized metals, metal oxides, and their nanocomposites with carbon, which are often unavailable by conventional methods. Therefore, mineralization is used to develop innovative textiles, oil absorbent and oil/water separating membranes, catalysts and photocatalysts, solar cells, conductors, supercapacitors, transistors and batteries for flexible electronics, and energy storage devices. These nontraditional and highly promising areas for applications have caused an intense interest in cellulose that resembles its rediscovery.
