Discovery advances printed electronics

Scientists from UK and Chinese universities have developed a new ink that could improve the performance of devices in the cutting-edge field of printed electronics.

Researchers from the Hybrid Nanomaterials Engineering Group at Cambridge University's Graphene Center successfully incorporated black phosphorus, a two-dimensional material similar to graphene, into ink that is compatible with conventional inkjet printers.

The team collaborated with scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beihang and Zhejiang universities.
