As technology becomes increasingly embedded in every facet of modern life, there is a growing imperative need to explore innovative devices and materials together with unconventional fabrication methods, especially those that leverage materials not traditionally associated with electronics. These emerging approaches offer promising solutions to the pressing challenges of sustainability and circularity brought on by the widespread presence of electronic devices.

Against this situation, our research group is dedicated to advancing responsible electronics through printed electronics techniques, incorporating materials such as graphene derivatives, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and other novel compounds. A key aspect of our work is the development of devices designed with minimal layering and optimized for low power consumption, both during production and throughout their operational lifespan.

This contribution highlights recent progress in responsible electronics, showcasing their integration into fully functional systems in several field applications from agriculture to healthcare that illustrate the real-world viability of these technologies.
