Four i3N 2024 articles have simultaneously ranked within the prestigious Top 10% of the most-viewed and read papers in their respective journals.
The paper "Green Fabrication of Stackable Laser‐Induced Graphene Micro‐Supercapacitors under Ambient Conditions" (Advanced Electronic Materials), led by the researcher Dr. Sara Silvestre, PhD Student at the time, tackles the fundamental challenge of sustainable technology. The work presents an innovative, eco-friendly method for fabricating stackable micro-supercapacitors under ambient conditions, reducing industrial waste and paving the way for truly green technological platforms.
In "Printed Memristors: An Overview of Ink, Materials, Deposition Techniques, and Applications" (Advanced Materials Technologies), the researchers Dr. Miguel Franco, Dr. Emanuel Carlos and Professor Rodrigo Martins provide a critical overview of the materials and techniques driving the development of printed memristors. These components are essential for artificial intelligence hardware, mimetizing neural functions to enable more efficient computing.
The comprehensive work "Direct Laser Writing: From Materials Synthesis and Conversion to Electronic Device Processing" (Advanced Materials) explores the versatility of laser technology in electronics. The lead author Dr. Tomás Pinheiro demonstrates how DLW is transforming materials synthesis and the processing of electronic devices, offering speed, precision, and ambient-condition operations.
Furthering the vision of paper electronics, the paper "Electrochemical Deposition of Manganese Oxide on Paper-Based Laser-Induced Graphene" (Advanced Sustainable Systems) details a breakthrough in high-energy-density supercapacitors. The research, featuring contributors like Dr. Tomás Pinheiro, Rodrigo Abreu and Professor Rodrigo Martins, demonstrates high-performance storage devices using sustainable, paper-based substrates.
Ranking in the Top 10% across four distinct but interconnected research areas highlights i3N's integrated approach to innovation.
