In a recent Cluster publication, first author Young Scientist Kai Xia combines Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology and inkjet printing to fabricate customized 3D conductive structures. The results shown in this publication on electrical conductivity and photodetection in 3D printed nanoporous structures via solution-processed functional materials are a promising step towards the fabrication of complex systems. The authors, including PIs Peter Gumbsch, Uli Lemmer, Yolita Eggeler, Pavel Levkin, and Gerardo Hernandez-Sosa, expect that the utilized approach could be applicable to the additive integration of other types of functional 3D printed optoelectronic devices and sensors.
