Fluidic Properties of Carbon Nanotube Inks and Field Emission Properties of Ink Jet-Printed Emitters

Abstract: To use carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in electronic devices, CNT solutions were created and adapted for jet-printing. Printing the devices requires characterizing and understanding CNT solutions. In this paper, we prepare aqueous CNT solutions with typical surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (NaDDBS), and a polymeric surfactant, Nafion. The fluidic properties, key parameters for printing, and correlations between CNT solutions and device performance were investigated. We us… Show more

“…The benzene rings of SDBS form π-like stacking interactions with the CNTs, resulting in stronger binding energy and increased coverage of the surfactant molecules on the CNT surface. 391 The as-prepared high-concentration CNT ink (up to 20 mg mL −1 ) could be stored in ambient conditions for >2 months without aggregation. 392 Graphene can be exfoliated in water−surfactant solutions like sodium cholate and ethyl cellulose, with sodium cholate achieving large quantities of monolayer and few-layer graphene at a concentration of 0.04 mg mL −1 .…”

“…Sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) exhibits excellent dispersing capabilities for CNTs due to the unique arrangement of its benzene rings on the CNT surface. The benzene rings of SDBS form π-like stacking interactions with the CNTs, resulting in stronger binding energy and increased coverage of the surfactant molecules on the CNT surface . The as-prepared high-concentration CNT ink (up to 20 mg mL –1 ) could be stored in ambient conditions for >2 months without aggregation .…”

“…140 Surfactants such as SDS, NaDDBS can be used to decrease the surface tension of the ink. 302 Second, a favorable wettability of the ink on the substrate is extremely important to have a high-quality print with robust interfacial adhesion to the substrate. The surface energies of the CNT-based inks and the printing substrate as well as the interactions of the CNT-based ink and the substrate dictate this wettability.…”
