Researchers make flexible, transparent e-paper from silicon
Researchers make flexible, transparent e-paper from silicon
Sep 20, 2013 by Lisa Zyga
The silicon nanowire paper was synthesized in a vertical high-frequency induction furnace. The direction of gas flow is marked by the yellow dashed lines. The red circles denote the locations where the silicon nanowires grow. (d) shows the synthesis of a SiNWsP@graphene electrode. Credit: Pang, et al. ©2013 American Chemical Society
(Phys.org) In the growing area of flexible, transparent electronic devices, silicon has not played much of a role. Instead, materials such as indium tin oxide, carbon nanotubes, and others are often used to make bendable electronics.
Now in a new study, researchers have synthesized silicon nanowires and woven them into a paper that outperforms many other paper-like materials in terms of transparency and flexibility. Since today's integrated circuit technology is designed for silicon (in bulk form), silicon nanowires would be much more compatible with these existing technologies than other materials, an advantage that could potentially rejuvenate research into silicon-based flexible electronics.
The researchers, Chunlei Pang, Hao Cui, Guowei Yang, and Chengxin Wang, at F2080 in Guangzhou, China, have published their study on the flexible, transparent, and self-standing silicon nanowires paper (FTS-SiNWsP) in a recent issue of Nano Letters.

As the researchers explain, bulk silicon is brittle at room temperature and only becomes ductile close to its melting temperature of about 1400 °C. In contrast, nanoscale silicon possesses a very large straining ability that enables flexibility at room temperature. However, weaving silicon nanowires into a paper-like material has been challenging because it requires achieving a unique interlocking alignment using controlled, catalyst-free growth methods.
Here, the researchers developed a simple method to synthesize silicon nanowires and assemble them into the desired interlocking alignment using a vertical high-frequency induction furnace. SiO powder and Ar gas (serving as a carrier gas) get blown into the furnace where they are quickly heated to about 1600 °C and kept there for 1 hour. The heat causes the SiO powder to decompose into SiO2 vapor and Si particles, both of which are transported by the Ar gas to a low-temperature zone where they stratify under gravity action due to their different molecular weights.
As more SiO2 and Si are transported to their locations, they nucleate and grow. While the SiO2 deposits form a powder sample, the Si particles form nanowires with diameters of about 10 nm that grow in the direction of the gas flow. As the Si nanowires grow, they spontaneously interlock with each other to form a free-standing membrane material. Scanning electron microscope images show a highly porous, woven structure, whose pores can potentially be filled with other functional materials for novel applications. Tests also showed that the FTS-SiNWsP material had very good optical transmittance and could bend repeatedly without cracking.
To demonstrate how these woven silicon nanowires can be used to create high-performance battery electrodes, the researchers grew graphene on the outside of the silicon nanowires in a core-shell design. The graphene also filled the gaps of the woven silicon nanowire material, completely encasing the material. After fabricating coin-cell Li-ion batteries using a FTS-SiNWsP@graphene film as the anode and Li as the cathode, the researchers showed that these batteries have very good performance, performing close to their theoretical capacity and maintaining a capacity of more than 1000 mAh/g after 100 cycles.
The FTS-SiNWsP material has the potential for many applications in addition to battery electrodes, such as flexible solar cells, wearable computers, paper displays, and supercapacitors. In the future, the researchers plan to build on this synthesis method to develop silicon nanowire paper materials to meet these emerging technological demands.
Next, we plan to carry out the application research of the silicon paper material in solar cells, Wang said.

Chinese researchers find low cost method to produce ethylene from ethanol
Meghan Sapp | August 5, 2013
http://www.biofuelsdigest.com
In China, researchers from Tianjin University Research and Development Center for Petrochemical Technology found that one particular device has the potential to make a highly pure ethylene product from ethanol with high efficiency and low cost. The device, called a fluidized bed reactor, works by suspending the chemicals needed to make ethylene inside the walls of a chamber. Newly produced ethylene exits through a pipe, while the rest of the material remains to continue production

Ethanol from corn and other plants could become the sustainable, raw material for a huge variety of products, from plastic packaging to detergents to synthetic rubber, that are currently petroleum-based. This was the conclusion of an article published in the ACS journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.
Yingzhe Yu and colleagues point out that a chemical called ethylene, now produced from petroleum, is one of the most important raw materials for everyday products. Ethylene is used to make hundreds of products, including polyethylene, the world’s most widely used plastic. Scientists have been seeking sustainable alternatives to petroleum for making ethylene, and Yu’s team reviewed progress in the field.

Known for its annual “Light Up a Light” fundraisers and programs with an aim to fight poverty in disadvantaged Taiwanese families, Chinatrust will be expanding its charity programs to the other side of the Taiwan Strait, looking to improve the educational resources for children living in China's less-developed regions.
The three organizations aim to establish 30 demonstration zones in China over the next six years, not only to improve the environment of local schools in impoverished areas, but also to raise the standards of teachers employed at the targeted institutions.
Ku Hsiu-lien (顧秀蓮, head of the CNCWY, presented Chinatrust Chairman Jeffrey Koo Jr. with a “Special Contribution Award,”acknowledging his past efforts in assisting disadvantaged children and families.
The two Chinese organizations held a charity fundraiser last Wednesday, with Chinatrust Vice Chairman Thomas KS Chen (陳國世, Kuomintang Vice Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤, soccer star Luis Figo and former Real Madrid team members attending.
Hmong (苗族 children from Fenghuang County, Hunan Province performed traditional tribal dances at the fundraiser to express their gratitude to the CNCWY and the Foundation for the Next Generation.
Chen bid for Chinese artist Chen Guang-wen's (陳廣文 painting on Koo's behalf in the hope of encouraging the guests to begin bidding in order to help Chinese students in need.
“I hope the Real Madrid team members will be able to travel to China in the future and give free soccer lessons for the disadvantaged students,” said Chen.

Robots May Revolutionize China's Electronics Manufacturing - WSJ.com
A new worker's revolution is rising in China and it doesn't involve humans.
With soaring wages and an aging population, electronics factory managers say the day is approaching when robotic workers will replace people on the Chinese factory floor.
A new wave of industrial robots is in development, ranging from high-end humanoid machines with vision, touch and even learning capabilities, to low-cost robots vying to undercut China's minimum wage.
Over the next five years these technologies will transform China's factories, executives say, and also fill a growing labor shortage as the country's youth become increasingly unwilling to perform manual labor. How the transformation plays out will also go a long way in deciding how much of the electronics supply chain remains in China.
It's not just traditional robot makers like Zurich-based ABB GroupABBN.VX +0.46% and Germany's Kuka AG KU2.XE +1.82% pushing forward. Electronics suppliers in Asia such as Delta Electronics Inc. 2308.TW +0.69% and Foxconn Technology Group2354.TW +0.65% are also seeking to build a better robot, along with smaller players like Denmark's Universal Robots A/S.
But some industry executives caution that China's automation shift will likely take years and there are plenty of challenges, including the high price of advanced robots, continuing technical limitations and even the lack of flexibility that comes with bringing robots into the factory.
"If your orders decrease, you can lay off workers," said Tim Li, senior vice president of Taiwanese PC contract manufacturer Quanta Computer Inc. "You can't lay off robots."
One of the newest companies in this field, Taiwanese firm Delta, has long made power adapters for brands like Apple Inc., AAPL -0.31% but last year it began a more ambitious project: to build robots cheap enough to replace human workers in China's electronics factories.
"It's clear that automation is the future trend in China, but the big question is how to bring down the costs for robots," said Delta Chairman Yancey Hai in an interview. "We believe we can do that because we manufacture two-thirds of the components ourselves."
Delta is testing a one-armed, four-jointed robot that can move objects, join components and complete similar tasks. By 2016, Delta hopes to sell a version for as little as $10,000, which would be less than half the cost of current mainstream robots.
That price is also cheaper than the salary of a Chinese worker, and the robot can work around the clock.
Delta believes it can achieve the low price through cost advantages at its Taiwan facility, in-house component production and a shorter target life span for its robot.
Outside Taiwan, there are also more futuristic robots in the works designed to be easily reprogrammable and smart enough to work alongside humans without risk of injury. For instance, ABB's concept humanoid robot has two 7-jointed arms that perform precise tasks and halt when touched by a person.
These robots are more expensive than factory workers, but the cost gap is shrinking, with China's wages rising by a double-digit percentage annually.
The advancements in robotics has led to hopes that electronics firms will bring some manufacturing back to the U.S. But industry followers say electronics assembly is likely to stay in China even as automation becomes easier because the larger component supply chain is in the country.
To be sure, robots have long been technically capable of the tasks required for final assembly: placing components on circuit boards, affixing circuit boards into casings, screwing together the casings and cleaning off the devices.
But human hands are still considerably cheaper for such jobs in China. People are also better at switching tasks than a robot, which requires reprogramming.
There are also logistical obstacles to automation.
Because of the short sales cycle of electronic devices, products are only in production for around 9 to 18 months, with production settings requiring change afterward, said ABB China Senior Vice President Chun-yuan Gu.
"There's a fast ramp up and a fast ramp down, and that is the key challenge," he said.
Even Foxconn, the industry's loudest proponent of automation, continues to rely on city-sized factories where more than 1.1 million workers do the bulk of the assembly of iPhones and other devices by hand. Foxconn originally planned to install 1 million robotic arms in its factories by 2014, but executives said it would take much longer to reach that target.
Automation would help companies like Foxconn that are continually beset by criticism over worker conditions. Indeed, Pegatron Corp., 4938.TW +1.50% another Apple supplier that makes iPhones, was recently accused by New York-based nonprofit organization China Labor Watch for alleged labor rights violations.
The Taiwanese company is focusing its automation efforts on the most dangerous and laborious tasks, said Chief Financial Officer Charles Lin.
Pegatron has invested around $100 million in the past year to automate production of electronic device casings, which involves harsh chemicals.
Quanta, the world's largest PC contract manufacturer, expects to make a massive automation shift in "the next two years or so" as labor costs rise, said Chief Financial Officer Elton Yang.
For robot makers like Kuka, that spells opportunity.
"Twenty percent of our business is in China and we see that rising," said Kuka Chief Executive Till Reuter. He said Kuka is investing in a new Chinese factory that can churn out at least 5,000 more robots a year from 1,500 to 2,000 currently.
Universal Robots and ABB also said they're boosting their China investment, and with good cause: China's industrial robot shipments will rise to 35,000 units in 2015 from 26,000 in 2012, the largest increase of any country, according to estimates from the International Federation of Robotics. While robots are used in many different types of factories in China, analysts and robotics companies point out growing demand to automate the electronics supply chain is giving demand a decided boost.
Kuka's Mr. Reuter says it's easy to see how robots can give factories a helping hand. "We have industrial robots which we work 24 hours a day, seven days a week for seven to 10 years," he said.

It's all 'Chini CCP propaganda' you see 
How dare the 'Chinis'. Without cheap labour 'Chini' economy would collapse and CCP would collapse and free all 'Chinis'

Good point. Although some might argue this is the 4th or 5th with (semiconductor)electronics and information technology "revolutions" in between. Regardless, hopefully this time China is ready.
