Graphene screen-printed radio-frequency identification devices on flexible substrates
article
Despite the great promise of printed flexible electronics from2D crystals, and especially graphene, few scalable applica-tions have been reported so far that can be termed roll-to-rollcompatible. Here we combine screen printed graphene withphotonic annealing to realize radio-frequency identificationdevices with a reading range of up to 4 meters. Most notablyour approach leads to fatigue resistant devices showing lessthan 1% deterioration of electrical properties after 1000 bend-ing cycles. The bending fatigue resistance demonstrated on avariety of technologically relevant plastic and paper sub-strates renders the material highly suitable for various print-able wearable devices, where repeatable dynamic bendingstress is expected during usage. All applied printing and post-processing methods are compatible with roll-to-roll manufac-turing and temperature sensitive flexible substrates providinga platform for the scalable manufacturing of mechanicallystable and environmentally friendly graphene printed electronics.
