ONAMI member researchers and collaborators in both academia and industry are leading a growing collaboration in the study and design of environmentally benign chemistry platforms for the fabrication of high-performance inorganic electronic devices. Beginning from groundbreaking work on transparent electronics and atomic-precision synthesis using both low-temperature solution chemistry and gas-phase assembly techniques, the range of applications for these greener (i.e. benign and earth-abundant elements, lower cost fabrication methods) materials platforms includes many aspects of electronics manufacturing, optics, sensors, thermoelectrics, magnetics, coatings and metrology standards.
ONAMI researchers have recently demonstrated atomically dense and atomically smooth solution processed inorganic films, functionally graded materials from modulated elemental reactants, and a growing range of composite electronic materials.
This work has direct implications for:
