However, detailed information on R2R NIL, particularly regarding process and stability control, is still limited as there are still many challenges and issues to be solved in the R2R NIL process. Nevertheless, further extensive and thorough studies on the process are crucial to solve these challenges

to realize the implementation of R2R NIL for commercial applications in the near future.
