摘要： Compositions and methods for production of conductive paths can include a printable composition including a liquid carrier and a plurality of nanostructures. The plurality of nanostructures can have an aspect ratio of at least about 5:1 within the liquid carrier. Examples of nanostructures include nanobelts, nanoplates, nanodiscs, nanowires, nanorods, and mixtures of these materials. These printable compositions can be used to form a conductive path on a substrate. The printable composition can be applied to a substrate using any number of conventional printing techniques. Following application of the printable composition, at least a portion of the liquid carrier can be removed such that the nanostructures can be in sufficient contact to provide a conductive path. The nanostructures arranged in a conductive path can be sintered or used as a conductive material without sintering.

摘要： A phosphor composition comprises a host lattice, a dopant and a decay modifying component different from the dopant and the host lattice and effective to alter the rate of decay of the radiation emitted by the phosphor composition in response to excitation by photons of a given energy. The decay modifying component is added to the phosphor composition in a predetermined amount between 1 and 10,000 parts per million of the composition. By varying the amount of the decay modifying component added to the phosphor composition, it is possible to produce a set of phosphor compositions with different, controlled rates of decay of the radiation emitted by the compositions.

摘要： Compositions, inks and methods for forming a patterned silicon-containing film and patterned structures including such a film. The composition generally includes (a) passivated semiconductor nanoparticles and (b) first and second cyclic Group IVA compounds in which the cyclic species predominantly contains Si and/or Ge atoms. The ink generally includes the composition and a solvent in which the composition is soluble. The method generally includes the steps of (1) printing the composition or ink on a substrate to form a pattern, and (2) curing the patterned composition or ink. In an alternative embodiment, the method includes the steps of (i) curing either a semiconductor nanoparticle composition or at least one cyclic Group IVA compound to form a thin film, (ii) coating the thin film with the other, and (iii) curing the coated thin film to form a semiconducting thin film. The semiconducting thin film includes a sintered mixture of semiconductor nanoparticles in hydrogenated, at least partially amorphous silicon and/or germanium. The thin film exhibits improved conductivity, density, adhesion and/or carrier mobility relative to an otherwise identical structure made by an identical process, but without either the semiconductor nanoparticles or the hydrogenated Group IVA element polymer. The present invention advantageously provides semiconducting thin film structures having qualities suitable for use in electronics applications, such as display devices or RF ID tags, while enabling high-throughput printing processes that form such thin films in seconds or minutes, rather than hours or days as with conventional photolithographic processes.

摘要： A method for making nanoparticles, nanoparticle inks and device layers therefrom is disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, nanoparticles are isolated from a composite material that is formed by treating a metal oxide precursor to form the metal nanoparticles and a metal oxide matrix. The nanoparticles are then isolated from the composite material by etching at least a portion of the metal oxide matrix to release the metal nanoparticles. In accordance with the embodiments of the invention, the nanoparticles are treated with surfactants and wetting agents either while etching or after etching, are isolated from the etchant and dispersed in a solvent medium and/or are otherwise treated or modified for use in a nanoparticle inks. A layer of the metal nanoparticle ink can then be used to form doped, undoped, patterned and unpatterned device layers or structures in micro-devices.
