The environmental pollution generated by electronic waste (e-waste), waste-gas, and wastewater restricts the sustainable development of society. Environmental-friendly electronics made of degradable, resorbable, and compatible thin-film materials were utilized and explored, which was beneficial for e-waste dissolution and sustainable development. In this paper, we present a literature review about the development of various degradable and disposable thin-films for electronic applications. The corresponding preparation methods were simply reviewed and one of the most exciting and promising methods was discussed: Printing electronics technology. After a short introduction, detailed applications in the environment sensors and eco-friendly devices based on these degradable and compatible thin-films were mainly reviewed, finalizing with the main conclusions and promising perspectives. Furthermore, the future on these upcoming environmental-friendly electronic devices are proposed and prospected, especially on resistive switching devices, showing great potential applications in artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Thing (IoT). These resistive switching devices combine the functions of storage and computations, which can complement the off-shelf computing based on the von Neumann architecture and advance the development of the AI.

Abstract The electrical transport properties of a thin film of the diamondoid adamantane, deposited on an Au/W substrate, were investigated experimentally. The current I, in applied potential V, from the admantane-thiol/metal heterstructure to a wire lead on its surface exhibited non-symmetric (diode-like) characteristics and a signature of resistive switching (RS), an effect that is valuable to non-volatile memory applications. I(V) follows a hysteresis curve that passes twice through $$I(0)=0$$ I ( 0 ) = 0 linearly, indicating RS between two states with significantly different conductances, possibly due to an exotic mechanism.

Thin film is a thin material that is resulting from the condensation of species through the deposition of atoms on the substrate. Thin films are usually used in the production of electronic devices, optical coatings, solar cells, and for decorative items. The bilayer of TiO2/ZnO and ZnO TiO2 thin films have some advantages such as can enhance the surface state and surface atomic mobility, which are useful for improving the photocatalytic activity. The motivation to a used double layer of ZnO and TiO2 is to enhance the properties and photocatalytic activity using the different deposition temperature between the layers. The structural of ZnO/TiO2 thin films were studied using X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) was used to determine the surface morphology of ZnO/TiO2 thin films. The photocatalytic activity of ZnO/TiO2 thin films was analysed using the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) solution. The XRD analysis revealed that highest anatase crystalline phase for TiO2 growth with orientation (1 0 1), while the ZnO crystal phase, zincite occurred at the highest intensity with (1 0 1) orientation.. The bilayer TiO2/ZnO thin film had the highest reaction rate, K, which is 0.0972 h-1 for photocatalytic activity. The characteristics of bilayer TiO2/ZnO and ZnO/TiO2 thin-film is strongly influenced by the calcination temperature and the presence and combination between the two types of materials.
