“…To optimize the rheology of inks and thereby enhance their electrochemical and mechanical properties, the addition of nanosized materials as fillers has been reported as a promising method. Two‐dimensional layered nanomaterials such as graphene oxide (GO) have been widely used to tune the rheological properties of inks . Compared with polymer‐based and cellulose‐based viscosifiers, GO exhibits higher electrical conductivity after it is converted to reduced graphene oxide (r‐GO) by annealing the printed electrodes .…”

the fabrication of electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices via three-dimensional (3D) printing has drawn considerable interest due to the enhanced electrochemical performances that arise from well-designed EES device architectures as compared to the conventionally fabricated ones. This work summarizes the developments in electrochemical devices fabricated by 3D printing techniques. We have categorized this review based on the architectural design of 3D printed EES devices: interdigitated structures, 3D scaffolds, and fibers. The printing techniques, processes, printing materials, advantages, and disadvantages of 3D printed architectures are systematically discussed in this review. Enhanced power density and energy density values were obtained using interdigitated structures and 3D scaffolds, in comparison with the conventional planar structure. The reasons for better electrochemical performances can be attributed to the presence of higher loading active materials, larger footprint area, and shorter ion transport route. The 3D printing techniques have also enabled the EES devices to be fabricated into lightweight, flexible fibers, and to be integrated into wearable electronics. At the end, the challenges and outlooks on the fabrication of 3D structured EES devices are outlined. Figure 1. Schematic summary: the advantages of 3D printing of EES devices with well-designed architecture in better electrochemical performance, higher processing efficiencies, and improved mechanical properties.

“…[116] Precursors included an ink of hierarchical silver nanowires (AgNWs), graphene, and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 (LTO), resulting in a very conductive AgNW network with a porous 3D graphene scaffold with LTO interspersed along the structure. [116] The relatively thick electrodes provided a specific capacity of 121 mAh g À1 at current densities as high as 10 C and a capacity retention of %95% after 100 cycles of operation, proving the practicability of this 3D system as an electrode in an LIB system. [116] A GO ink was used to 3D-printed composite electrodes, with GO/LiFePO 4 and GO/LTO acting as the cathode and the anode, respectively.…”

Superior electrochemical performance, structural stability, facile integration, and versatility are desirable features of electrochemical energy storage devices. The increasing need for high‐power, high‐energy devices has prompted the investigation of manufacturing technologies that can produce structured battery and supercapacitor electrodes with optimized charge transport. While conventional electrode production techniques are becoming increasingly obsolete and incompatible with technological developments such as wearables and flexible electronics, additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as one of several state‐of‐the‐art tools to produce 3D‐structured electrodes with morphology control, high yield, and scalability. Herein, a comprehensive review of the major AM technologies and most recent literature about designing and manufacturing electrode materials for batteries and supercapacitors is presented. A thorough discussion of research opportunities and challenges in this promising field is also presented to introduce the potential and importance of AM to current developments involving electrode materials.

“…In most cases, high areal capacity values were observed, depending on key parameters like solid loading in the ink, deposition patterns, electrode components, number of deposited layers and resulting thickness. [14,[19][20][21][22][23][24] Despite of the great potential of these technologies in the fabrication of thick electrodes, the commercialization of 3Dprinted LIBs is still far away, and the albeit attractive results are still limited to the lab-scale. More work is required to address some crucial aspects of the deposition process, including materials selection, printing resolution and speed, and slurry formulation.…”

Enhancing electrode areal capacity of lithium-ion batteries will result in cost saving and better electrochemical performances. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a very promising solution, which enables to build structurally complex electrodes with wellcontrolled geometry, shape and thickness. Here we report on 3D-printed cathodes based on LiMn 2 O 4 (LMO) as the active material, which are fabricated by robocasting AM via aqueous processing. Such a technology is: i) environmentally friendly, since it works well with water and green binders; ii) fast, due to very short deposition times and rapid drying process because of low amount of solvent in the printable pastes; iii) easily scalable. The cathodes are produced by extruding pastes with higher solid loadings (> 70 vol %) than those typically reported in literature. The printing efficiency is strongly affected by both the binder and the carbonaceous additive. The best cathode is composed by LMO, Pluronic as the binder, and a mixture of graphite/carbon black as the electronic conductor, which is critical for achieving optimal electrochemical performance. The cathode with thickness of 200 μm and mass loading of 13 mg cm À 2 exhibits good electrochemical areal capacity (2.3 mAh cm À 2) and energy density (> 32 J cm À 2). Our results may boost the development of greener, lower cost and more efficient new generation of LIBs for applications as household energy storage or even micro-battery technology.
