Inorganic Electronic Materials
Inorganic electronic materials include metals, metal oxides, carbon based nanomaterials and more. They possess unique electrical, magnetic, or optical properties, that make them suitable for a wide range of electronic, optoelectronic, and energy-related devices. These materials typically feature ionic, covalent, or metallic bonding and often exhibit high thermal stability, mechanical strength, and well-defined electronic behaviors.
Inorganic electronic materials includes both conductors such as silver nanoparticles and semiconductors such as zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. Electrical insulators such as aluminum oxide (Al2O3) are also used to suppress charge recombination and increase the thickness of light absorber layer in solar cells. Barium titanate, a pyroelectric and piezoelectric material, is used in a wide range of electronic products, including capacitors, transducers, and optics.
Some materials exhibit other interesting magnetic properties such as iron oxide. Depending on the conformation, phase, and size, iron oxide nanoparticles can be antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic. Energy storage and conversion materials include Li-ion battery electrode materials such as LiFePO4 and lithium cobalt oxide.
