Abstract
A method for increasing a service lifetime of an electronic component includes applying a topological insulator coating layer on a surface of the electronic component and performing a test on the electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer applied thereto. The electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer exhibits at least a 100% improvement during the test when compared to an otherwise equivalent electronic component without the topological insulator layer applied thereto. The electronic component with the topological insulator coating layer exhibits at least a 100% improvement during the test when compared to an otherwise equivalent electronic component with a graphene layer applied thereto. The test includes at least one of: a waterproofness test, an acetic acid test, a sugar solution test, and a methyl alcohol test.
