Project teaser
Acronym: INREP
INREP’s (concluded in 2018) objective was to develop and deploy valid and robust indium-free transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) to replace indium-based conductive electrode materials in applications such as high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, GaN-based LEDs, organic LEDs, and touchscreen monitors.
The physical properties of interest were transparency, electrical conductivity, work function, texture, as well as chemical and thermal stability.
