Abstract:
Among nanotechnologies, the novel synthesis method of nanoparticles has been payed our attention on because of their various applications, such as electronics, magnetics, catalysts, etc. In particular, the sustainable engineering is very important. Since Fukushima accidents have evoked the motivation to develop the new sustainable energies independent from the conventional ones, the next age solar cell system is one of them. This includes a variety of nanoparticulate materials, such as the cell itself, transparent conductive oxides (TCO), and the other nano-scale devices. From the environmental point of view, as the used of Pb has been avoided, the researches have been focused their attention on the development of the lead-free piezo-electronic materials. On the other hand, these highly functional nanoparticles have been composed of many rare elements and/or platinum group metals. In this regard, their synthesis and application method has been considered on the basis of sustainable concepts. The printing electronics techniques through the use of the nano-ink is one of the goals for the sustainable application ones. In this lecture, the electronic nanoparticles development such as TCO will be exemplified as the recent studies on these fields.
