Summary: This study demonstrated the design steps and optimization processes towards fully printed organic photovoltaic (OPV) modules with scalable processes for the first time, successfully fabricating devices with over 3.5 cm(2) active area and 5% efficiency. By addressing issues related to upscaling with printed electrodes through a rational design process, it also showed process compatibility of fully printed device structures with non-fullerene acceptor systems, enabling more opportunities for the design of high-performance OPV materials.

Summary: This paper proposes a versatile method for photopatterning silver nanowire networks, based on photoinduced nanowire-nanowire and nanowire-substrate cross-linking. The resulting hybrid transparent electrodes exhibit low roughness, excellent tolerance to oxidation or electrochemical processes and mechanical stability against bending, without compromising the optical/electrical characteristics achievable from the pristine silver nanowire network. The proposed method can facilitate the practical application of silver nanowire network-based transparent electrodes.

Summary: The dielectric relaxations, charge transport dynamics, and capacitive energy storage of epoxy/BaTiO3 nanocomposites developed at low nanofiller concentrations were investigated. Two relaxation processes, alpha- and beta-relaxations, were observed, attributed to different mechanisms. The increase in nanofiller content was found to have a beneficial effect on charge transport properties.

Summary: Flexible and conductive silver electrodes were successfully fabricated using inkjet printing on thiol-ene polymer substrates, achieving low resistivity by optimizing printing parameters and selecting appropriate compositions. Rough surfaces showed enhanced quality of printed electrodes, while electrodes printed on smooth surfaces were more prone to cracks. The electrodes demonstrated good conductivity even after mechanical stress and bending, indicating potential for flexible sensors.

Summary: In this study, femtosecond laser post-processing was used to improve the silver nanowire transparent electrodes by achieving welding between nanowires. This led to a significant reduction in sheet resistance and an improvement in the figure of merit of the electrodes. The energy density of the laser had an impact on the welding efficiency, with excessively high energy density causing nanowire melting. Additionally, laser irradiation had little effect on the transmittance of the electrodes, and the number of effective pulses did not significantly affect the welding efficiency of the nanowires.

Summary: In this study, the contact mode between silver nanowires is improved using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation welding, resulting in a decrease in sheet resistance. The investigations show that the sheet resistance of the silver nanowires is lowest at a UV irradiation power of 60 mW/cm(2) and a fixed irradiation time of one minute. Moreover, experiments varying the UV wavelength and irradiation time reveal that the best welding effect is achieved at a wavelength of 380 nm and an irradiation time of 3 minutes.

Summary: The use of graphene in MAPbI(3) electrodes can stabilize the material and suppress undesirable phase transitions, while the chemical reaction between AgNW electrodes and MAPbI(3) leads to a decrease in THz conductivity. Introducing an Al2O3 interlayer can enhance the THz conductivity of AgNW electrodes.
