Wednesday 9 November 2022 - Critical, independent assessment of the incumbent and emerging chemical recycling and dissolution processes; solutions for different polymer types and forms; overview of the key developments and players in this field; analysis of the key market drivers; market outlook on the planned chemical recycling projects; view of the industry pain points and criticisms

Photovoltaics is the fastest-growing energy source. Of the thin film PV technologies, cadmium telluride (CdTe) dominates. It is largely concentrated within the US, where it accounts for 40 % of US utility-scale PV power. In recent years, the commercial efficiency of CdTe panels has been playing a catch-up game with conventional silicon and is currently trailing by ~3 %. Efficiency, however, is not the only deciding factor.

Where does 5G stand three years after its first commercialization in 2019? Let's start with the frequency band. We know that the sub-6 GHz (3.5 - 7 GHz) and millimeter wave (mmWave, >24 GHz) bands are the two new bands among the spectrum covered in 5G. Despite the hype surrounding mmWave, according to IDTechEx's "5G Market 2023-2033: Technology, Trends, Forecasts, Players" report, 53% of 5G commercial/pre-commercial services are actually based on sub-6 GHz, with mmWave accounting only for less than 10% of the market.

The first part of this premium article examines trends of Micro-LED, LCD, OLED, and QD-LCD displays, and value propositions of micro-LED displays and corresponding application trends

In this slide presentation (see link below) we assess non-graphene 2D materials, focusing mainly on MoS2 as the main example of the family of 2D TMDs (transition metal dichalcogenides).

The market numbers understate Tesla's leadership. This is because Tesla cars sell at more than twice the price of other leading pure electric cars.

In this slide presentation (see link below), we examine the different deposition and patterning techniques for forming OLED displays

In this slide presentation we give an assessment of graphene as an electronic material.

In this slide presentation (see below) we describe the different existing and emerging OLED material classes. In particular, we explain and analyse fluorescent (FL), phosphorescent (PH), thermally-activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) and hybrid TADF and fluorescent materials.

Glass is the ultimate barrier substrate material.

In this premium article below we cover some of the latest activities with printed, flexible batteries.

In this brief slide deck, we briefly outline the key aspects and challenges of growing high-quality graphene as an electronic substrate. This could take the form of a film of graphene on a wafer or another substrate. Therefore, we will consider chemical vapour deposition as well as epitaxial growth. Here, we will also outline some of the R&D progress on this topic. This slide presentation will be the first of two presentations. The second one will consider the use of graphene as an electronic material.

In this slide presentation, we will first give a brief introduction to the basic operation of thin film transistors, also distinguishing them from wafer-based transistor technologies.

Drone business landscape has been configured in recent years. The hardware price wars have consolidated the hardware landscape with the winner essentially forcing many out and leaving the rest at best vying for the position of being an alternative supplier.

Technology analyst Dr Bryony Core reports on her findings at the IDTechEx Show! Santa Clara 2018

In this article we will consider the existing and emerging applications of IME, looking at the latest prototypes, commercial success, etc. We will briefly examine value chain.

In this presentation, we provide an update on various companies active in the quantum dot (QD) business.

Quantum materials are excellent narrowband emitters. As such, most application discussions have focused on display and lighting applications where it can expand color gamut, efficiency, CRI and other parameters.

The Battery Show is a unique opportunity for Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in North America to showcase their capabilities in terms of electric powertrain solutions. With an impressive year on year growth, this event can be considered the main tradeshow to attend for those seeking to establish business relations in the EV industry.

IDTechEx attended Aluminium 2018 at the Düsseldorf Messe, Germany. This event reaches nearly 30,000 attendees and covers the complete aluminium supply chain.
