Gaishi Automotive Luminescent polymers (a flexible material containing luminescent molecules) have luminescent capabilities, as well as excellent flexibility and stretchability, and have shown great potential in different application fields, such as car navigation displays and text reading screens, etc.
However, these electronic products will be thrown into landfills after they are scrapped.
Recycling e-waste is complex, with high cost and low energy efficiency related processes.
Although there are economic factors in recycling critical semiconductor materials, such as light-emitting polymers in this example, this is currently difficult to achieve due to their design challenges at the molecular level.
, New methods are used to design light-emitting semiconductors that can be both biodegradable and recycled.
(Photo source: Argonne Laboratory), according to foreign media reports, in order to overcome this challenge, research teams at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago, Purdue University and Yale University have developed a strategy to design high-luminosity, biodegradable, recyclable luminescent polymers from the beginning.
