Electrohydrodynamic Nanoprinting

Electrohydrodynamic nanoprinting is a unique technique enabling the direct pattering of three dimensional nanostructures. Carrying on research previously conducted at the lab of Dimos Poulikakos (LTNT / D-MAVT / ETHZ), we will focus on the deposition of metallic and semiconductor nanocrystals (e.g. Au, PbS and CsPbBr3, ...) now supplied by the lab of Maksym Kovalenko (Empa 207 and D-CHAB / ETHZ). 

A new EHD printing set-up dedicated to the nanoscale placement of those materials is currently being constructed.
