The approach of additive manufacturing can greatly simplify the production of nanoporous thin films with a high surface-to-volume ratio. The applications of such films are numerous and include among others applications within electrocatalysis, chemical, optical or biological sensing as well as the fabrication of batteries and microelectronics.
The VSP-P1 NanoPrinter (VSP-P1) enables you to locally print inorganic nanostructured materials with unique properties. The building blocks for the printed layer are gas-phase produced, sub20 nm nanoparticles, free of surfactants or any other organic impurities. The whole process of nanoparticle production and printing is completely automated and thus there is no need to directly handle nanoparticles.
