ActiveGrid™ is the industry's top performing flexible, solution-processed transparent conductive material for a variety of commercial touch sensors and displays applications. Here, the mechanism of ActiveGrid™ formation will be discussed as well as the advanced technologies related to ultra-thin NW synthesis and purification. ActiveGrid™ inks and films are valued by their performance, durability, flexibility, and processability, for applications ranging from touch sensors, OLEDs, and solar cells to wearables. C3Nano's key industrial partnerships and commercialization activities will also be highlighted.

Dr. Yongxing Hu earned her BS in Material Science and Engineering (2002) from University of Science and Technology of China and a PhD in Chemistry (2011) from the University of California, Riverside. She conducted postdoctoral research in the Center for Nanoscale Material at the Argonne National Laboratory under Director's Postdoc Fellowship before joining C3Nano in 2014. Dr. Hu has co-authored more than 40 peer-reviewed journal papers and one book chapter, and is a co-inventor

on 6 issued U.S. patents. Currently Dr. Hu is a Principal Scientist at C3Nano, leading the development of new generations of high performance transparent conductive material with advanced optics.

Founded in 2010, as a spinout from Professor Zhenan Bao's chemical engineering laboratory at Stanford University, C3Nano has developed solution-coated, transparent conductive materials that compete directly with indium tin oxide (ITO) in the devices of today and tomorrow. C3Nano works with a variety of prominent chemical companies, converters and coaters, and device makers serving the consumer electronic supply chain. C3Nano's high performance materials are intended to disrupt the exploding touch-panel industry, the thin-film PV industry, and other emerging technologies like OLED lighting and smart windows. C3Nano is a backed by leading venture capital firms and is headquartered in Hayward, California, USA. See c3nano.com
