    Recent developments of stamped planar micro-supercapacitors: Materials, fabrication and perspectives
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Li, Fei; Li, Yang; Qu, Jiang; Wang, Jinhui; Bandari, Vineeth Kumar; Zhu, Feng; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    The rapid development of wearable and portable electronics has dramatically increased the application for miniaturized energy storage components. Stamping micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) with planar interdigital configurations are considered as a promising candidate to meet the requirements. In this review, recent progress of the different stamping materials and various stamping technologies are first discussed. The merits of each material, manufacturing process of each stamping method and the properties of stamping MSCs are scrutinized, respectively. Further insights on technical difficulties and scientific challenges are finally demonstrated, including the limited thickness of printed electrodes, poor overlay accuracy and printing resolution.

    On-chip integrated process-programmable sub-10 nm thick molecular devices switching between photomultiplication and memristive behaviour
    ([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2022) Li, Tianming; Hantusch, Martin; Qu, Jiang; Bandari, Vineeth Kumar; Knupfer, Martin; Zhu, Feng; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    Molecular devices constructed by sub-10 nm thick molecular layers are promising candidates for a new generation of integratable nanoelectronic applications. Here, we report integrated molecular devices based on ultrathin copper phthalocyanine/fullerene hybrid layers with microtubular soft-contacts, which exhibit process-programmable functionality switching between photomultiplication and memristive behaviour. The local electric field at the interface between the polymer bottom electrode and the enclosed molecular channels modulates the ionic-electronic charge interaction and hence determines the transition of the device function. When ions are not driven into the molecular channels at a low interface electric field, photogenerated holes are trapped as electronic space charges, resulting in photomultiplication with a high external quantum efficiency. Once mobile ions are polarized and accumulated as ionic space charges in the molecular channels at a high interface electric field, the molecular devices show ferroelectric-like memristive switching with remarkable resistive ON/OFF and rectification ratios.

    Advanced architecture designs towards high-performance 3D microbatteries
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Li, Yang; Qu, Jiang; Li, Fei; Qu, Zhe; Tang, Hongmei; Liu, Lixiang; Zhu, Minshen; Schmidt, Oliver G.
    Rechargeable microbatteries are important power supplies for microelectronic devices. Two essential targets for rechargeable microbatteries are high output energy and minimal footprint areas. In addition to the development of new high-performance electrode materials, the device configurations of microbatteries also play an important role in enhancing the output energy and miniaturizing the footprint area. To make a clear vision on the design principle of rechargeable microbatteries, we firstly summarize the typical configurations of microbatteries. The advantages of different configurations are thoroughly discussed from the aspects of fabrication technologies and material engineering. Towards the high energy output at a minimal footprint area, a revolutionary design for microbatteries is of great importance. In this perspective, we review the progress of fabricating microbatteries based on the rolled-up nanotechnology, a derivative origami technology. Finally, we discussed the challenges and perspectives in the device design and materials optimization.
