Organic electronics: Sustainability during the entire lifecycle

Science Daily  July 7, 2023 Organic electronics can make a decisive contribution to decarbonization and, at the same time, help to cut the consumption of rare and valuable raw materials. To do so, it is not only necessary to further develop manufacturing processes, but also to devise technical solutions for recycling as early on as the laboratory phase. To design built-in sustainability into the materials selection, processing and device architectures of all emerging applications, an international team of researcher (UK, USA – UC Santa Barbara, Germany) is promoting a circular strategy. They evaluated the status of embedded carbon in organic […]
