In a commanding position – and now cheaper
Transparent conductive films are now an integral part of our
everyday lives. Whether in smartphones, tablets, laptops, flat screens or (on a
larger scale) in solar cells. Yet they are expensive and complex to
manufacture. Now, researchers at Empa have succeeded in developing a method of
producing such TCO films, as they are known, that is not only cheaper, but also
simpler and more environmentally friendly.
