Patterning of electrical conductors with conductivity higher than 50\% bulk copper is challenging and usually involves electroless or electrolytic deposition processes that require the use of very costly catalyst, mainly palladium, as a seed material. Here, the use of a binuclear copper complex as a very efficient replacement for the conventional catalysts, which can be directly inkjet printed onto 3D plastic objects, is described. After printing, the copper complex is converted into pure copper upon short exposure to low-temperature plasma. By combining the binuclear complex with electroless plating, resistivity as low as 2.38 {\textmu}Ω cm, which corresponds to a 72\% conductivity of bulk copper, is obtained. The applicability of the complex ink and the process is demonstrated in the fabrication of a near-field communication antenna on a 3D printed plastic object.},

It was found that the yield of the transfer process improved due to presence of several carboxylic acids which are liquid with a high boiling point. Furthermore we found that the transport of copper starts at a lower temperature than previously reported, indicating that the first decomposition step of copper formate is related to the catalytic decomposition of formic acid on a copper surface.

	abstract = {Liquid drop evaporation on surfaces is present in many industrial and medical applications, e.g., printed electronics, spraying of pesticides, DNA mapping, etc. Despite this strong interest, a theoretical description of the dynamic of the evaporation of complex liquid mixtures and nanosuspensions is still lacking. Indeed, one of the aspects that have not been included in the current theoretical descriptions is the competition between the kinetics of evaporation and the adsorption of surfactants and/or particles at the liquid/vapor and liquid/solid interfaces. Materials formed by an electrically isolating solid on which a patterned conducting layer was formed by the deposits left after drop evaporation have been considered as very promising for building electrical circuits on flexible plastic substrates. In this work, we have done an exhaustive study of the evaporation of nanosuspensions of latex and hydrophobized silver nanoparticles on four substrates of different hydrophobicity. The advancing and receding contact angles as well as the time dependence of the volume of the droplets have been measured over a broad range of particle concentrations. Also, mixtures of silver particles and a surfactant, commonly used in industrial printing, have been examined. Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics at both the air/liquid and solid/liquid interfaces have been measured. Whereas the latex particles do not adsorb at the solid/liquid and only slightly reduce the surface tension, the silver particles strongly adsorb at both interfaces. The experimental results of the evaporation process were compared with the predictions of the theory of Semenov et al. (Evaporation of Sessile Water Droplets: Universal Behavior in the Presence of Contact Angle Hysteresis. Colloids Surf. Physicochem. Eng. Asp. 2011, 391 (1-3), 135-144) and showed surprisingly good agreement despite that the theory was developed for pure liquids. The morphology of the deposits left by the droplets after total evaporation was studied by scanning electronic microscopy, and the effects of the substrate, the particle nature, and their concentrations on these patterns are discussed.},

	abstract = {Vanadium dioxide (VO2) nanoparticles with reversible semiconductor-metal phase transition holds the tremendous potential as a thermochromic material for the energy-saving smart glazing. However, the trade-off between improving the luminous transmittance (Tlum) while sacrificing the solar modulation ability (ΔTsol) hampers its bench-to-market translation. Previous studies of anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) focused primarily on increasing Tlum while neglecting ΔTsol, which is a key energy-saving determinant. The intrinsically low ΔTsol (<16\%) is due to the fact that VO2 has a higher refractive index (RI) from 500 nm to 2200 nm wavelength (λ) below its critical transition temperature (τc), which causes excessive reflection at a lower temperature. This study aims to investigate ARCs with tunable RI (1.47{\textendash}1.92 at λ = 550 nm) to improve the antireflection effect at a lower temperature, thereby maximizing ΔTsol for various VO2 nanosubstrates, e.g. continuous thin films, nanocomposites, and periodic micro-patterning films. We showed that the best performing coatings could maximize ΔTsol (from 15.7\% to 18.9\%) and increase Tlum(avg) (from 39\% to 44\%) simultaneously, which surpasses the current bench-mark specifications ever reported for ARC-coated VO2 smart glazing. In addition, the cytotoxicity analyses evidence that ARCs are feasible to improve the cyto-compatibility of VO2 nanoparticles-based nanocomposites. The presented RI-tunable ARC, which circumvents the complex materials selection and optical design, not only paves the way for practical applications of VO2-based smart windows but also has extensive applications in the field of solar cells, optical lenses, smart display, etc.},

	abstract = {Background: Iatrogenic ureteral injury is an increasing concern in the laparoscopic era, affecting both patient morbidity and costs. Current techniques enabling intraoperative ureteral identification require invasive procedures or radiations. Our aim was to develop a real-time, non-invasive, radiation-free method to visualize ureters, based on near-infrared (NIR) imaging. For this purpose, we interfered with the biliary excretion pathway of the indocyanine green (ICG) fluorophore by loading it into liposomes, enabling renal excretion. In this work, we studied various parameters influencing ureteral imaging. Methods: Fluorescence intensity (FI) of various liposomal ICG sizes and doses were characterized in vitro and subsequently tested in vivo in mice and pigs. Quantification was performed by measuring FI in multiple points and applying the ureteral/retroperitoneum ratio (U/R). Results: The optimal liposomal ICG loading dose was 20\%, for the different liposomes{\textquoteright} sizes tested (30, 60, 100 nm). Higher concentration of ICG decreased FI. In vivo, the optimal liposome size for ureteral imaging was 60 nm, which yielded a U/R of 5.2 $\pm$ 1.7 (p < 0.001 vs. free ICG). The optimal ICG dose was 8 mg/kg (U/R = 2.1 $\pm$ 0.4, p < 0.05 vs. 4 mg/kg). Only urine after liposomal ICG injection had a measurable FI, and not after free ICG injection. Using a NIR-optimized laparoscopic camera, ureters could be effectively imaged in pigs, from 10 min after injection and persisting for at least 90 min. Ureteral peristaltic waves could be clearly identified only after liposomal ICG injection. Conclusions: Optimization of liposomal ICG allowed to visualize enhanced ureters in animal models and seems a promising fluorophore engineering, which calls for further developments.},

	abstract = {Solution-based thin-film semiconductors offer a promising path for the mass production of low-cost solar cells prepared at low temperatures. Thin-film Cu-based chalcogenides such as Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGSSe) and Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) hold great promise and have been regarded as viable candidates because of the abundance of their constituent elements and environmentally nontoxic nature. This Review summarizes the recent progress in solution-processed Cu chalcogenides (CuInSe2, Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2, Cu2ZnSnS4, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4) for thin-film solar cells, with emphasis on the precursor solution deposited by spray pyrolysis and spin coating. The general aspects, current status, and recent research highlights are introduced and analyzed in detail. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of these solar cells are also discussed.},

Moreover, a self-patterning approach was also illustrated to improve the thermochromic properties. The proposed surface engineering methods represent a facile and cost-effective approach for enhancing thermochromic properties that could promote the application of VO2 thin films in smart windows.},

	abstract = {More than 50\% of solar energy comes from the infrared region (as radiant heat) of the solar spectrum. Electrochromic (EC) materials, which can dynamically modulate the transmittance of infrared (IR) radiation, can be effectively applied in smart windows for thermal management in buildings. In this work, a core-shell TiO2-WO3 inverse opal (IO) structure was fabricated through the electrodeposition of WO3 onto TiO2 IO templates. The TiO2 IO templates were synthesized by introducing TiO2 into the voids of a polystyrene (PS) colloidal crystal template, followed by calcination to remove the PS microspheres. It was found that the TiO2-WO3 IO core-shell structure can modulate NIR transmittance at wavelengths from 700 to 1600 nm in the NIR range when potential is applied in LiClO4/PC electrolyte. When --0.3 V is applied, up to 60\% of NIR radiation in this range can be blocked. The NIR transmittance can be modulated by tuning the applied potential. This study focuses on comparing the novel TiO2-WO3 IO structure with electrodeposited WO3 thin film to fully elucidate the effect of the inverse opal morphology and the TiO2-WO3 hybrid system on the optical properties. Results show that the NIR blockage can be sustained up to 90\% after 1200 reversible cycles for TiO2-WO3 IO structure. The greater surface area of the IO structure increases the number of active sites available for the redox reactions by providing a larger contact area with the electrolyte. The more electroactive area with improved charge transfer enhances the overall NIR transmittance contrast as compared to bulk WO3 thin film. Furthermore, the addition of WO3 to TiO2 to form a composite has been shown to enhance cycling performance and device lifespan.},

	abstract = {Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is one of the most widely studied inorganic phase change material for energy storage and energy conservation applications. Monoclinic VO2 [VO2(M)] changes from semiconducting phase to metallic rutile phase at near room temperature and the resultant abrupt suppressed infrared transmittance at high temperature makes it a potential candidate for thermochromic smart window application to cut the air-condition usage. Meanwhile proper electrical potential, stable structure and good interaction with lithium ions make metastable VO2 [VO2(B)] an attractive material for fabrication of electrodes for batteries and supercapacitors. However, some long-standing issues have plagued its usage. In thermochromic application, high transition temperature (τc), low luminous transmittance (Tlum) and undesirable solar modulation ability (△Tsol) are the key problems, while in energy storage applications, short cycling lifetime and complex three-dimension microstructure are the major challenges. The common methods to produce VO2 polymorph are physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD), sol-gel synthesis, and hydrothermal method. CVD is an intensively studied method due to its ability to produce uniform films with precise stoichiometry, phase and morphology control. This paper reviews the various CVD techniques to produce VO2 with controlled phases and the ternary diagram shows the relationship between film stoichiometry and various process conditions. The difference between the various CVD systems are commented and the process window to produce VO2 are tabulated. Some strategies to improve VO2's performance in both energy conservation and energy storage applications are discussed.},
