“…In this technique, the material is deposited in the form of droplets rather than a continuous filament, as in DIW. The advantages and disadvantages between these two technologies have been recently discussed by Tan et al [20]. More direct writing techniques can be found in the referenced study by Balani et al [19].…”

Three-dimensional printed electrodes seem to overcome many structural and operational limitations compared to ones fabricated with conventional methods. Compared to other 3D printing techniques, direct ink writing (DIW), as a sub-category of extrusion-based 3D printing techniques, allows for easier fabrication, the utilization of various materials, and high flexibility in electrode architectures with low costs. Despite the conveniences in fabrication procedures that are facilitated by DIW, what qualifies an ink as 3D printable has become challenging to discern. Probing rheological ink properties such as viscoelastic moduli and yield stress appears to be a promising approach to determine 3D printability. Yet, issues arise regarding standardization protocols. It is essential for the ink filament to be extruded easily and continuously to maintain dimensional accuracy, even after post-processing methods related to electrode fabrication. Additives frequently present in the inks need to be removed, and this procedure affects the electrical and electrochemical properties of the 3D-printed electrodes. In this context, the aim of the current review was to analyze various energy devices, highlighting the type of inks synthesized and their measured rheological properties. This review fills a gap in the existing literature. Thus, according to the inks that have been formulated, we identified two categories of DIW electrode architectures that have been manufactured: supported and free-standing architectures.

A monolithic catalyst was fabricated through an emulsiontemplating method, postpolymerization modification, and in situ loading of active constituents. To achieve a high specific surface area, divinylbenzene (DVB) was solely employed as the monomer, while the porous structure was adjusted with the porogen content and the types of initiators. Then, anchor points were introduced on the pore wall through nitration and amination of the polymeric scaffold. Using a controlled "silver mirror reaction", monolithic catalysts were obtained after loading of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which was verified from morphological and crystallinity characteristics. The catalytic performance of the resultant monolithic catalyst was determined with the model reduction of 4nitrophenol (4-NP). In static catalysis, the monolithic catalyst was proved to have a reactively high apparent rate constant and a good reusability. Furthermore, a flow reactor was fabricated with the monolithic catalyst, showing a high efficiency and long-term durability for the continuous reduction of 4-NP. This work broadened the adjustment of porous structures and the subsequent application for emulsion-templated monoliths.

“…[24] Material extrusion has been the most broadly utilized and recognized as one of the most versatile tools in the energy storage field due to its wide range of materials, low cost, and ease of operation. [25,26] Notably, other 3D printing techniques offer compelling features such as nanoscale printing accuracy. [27,28] Recently, ongoing technological innovations (e.g., cold-trap environment printing, coaxial printing, and multinozzle printing) have also been proven as an efficient means to tune the structures/properties or optimize the fabrication processes for 3D printed ESMDs (3DP-ESMDs).…”

Abstract3D printed energy storage materials and devices (3DP‐ESMDs) have become an emerging and cutting‐edge research branch in advanced energy fields. To achieve satisfactory electrochemical performance, energy storage interfaces play a decisive role in burgeoning ESMD‐based 3D printing. Hence, it is imperative to develop effective interface engineering routes toward desirable 3DP‐ESMDs. In this tutorial review, recent advances in interface engineering for 3DP‐ESMDs are comprehensively provided and in‐depth discussion is offered. To begin with, basic interface engineering principles are introduced. Critical interface engineering strategies including 3D printing‐enabled structural design, composition modification, protective layer design, and 3D printed device optimization are then summarized and illustrated, accompanied by a discussion of pioneering work on 3D printed rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors that has been made through significant interface engineering strategies. Finally, perspectives on interface engineering approaches in future 3DP‐ESMDs are presented.
