Holst Centre has demonstrated the production of high-quality silver conductive structures using inkjet printing in high-speed roll-to-roll production. The team has produced 50-micron features with five times the resistivity of bulk silver on plastic substrates at rates up to 20 meters per minute. The technique has already been used to print antennas for RFID tags on paper, and could be applied to cut the cost of organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar panels, building-integrated photovoltaics and other...
