Researchers at Linköping, Lund Universities Create Electrodes Using Light

Researcher at LiU have developed a technique where visible light can be used to create electrodes from conductive plastics completely without hazardous chemicals. The technique requires no advanced laser setups – visible light from simple LED lamps, such as a party light, can drive the polymerisation. (Photographer: Thor Balkhed. Source: Linköping University)

By Anders Törneholm Visible light can be used to create electrodes from conductive plastics completely without hazardous chemicals. This is shown in a new study carried out by researchers at Linköping and Lund universities. The electrodes can be created on different types of surfaces, which opens up for a new type of electronics and medical sensors. “I think this is something of a breakthrough. It’s another way of creating electronics that is simpler and doesn’t require any expensive equip...
