Inkjet-printable and low-temperature curable Ag–Ag2O mixed-phase conductive nanoink for flexible electronic applications

Inkjet-printed transparent micro-supercapacitors with morphology tailored co-continuous mesoporous Mn3O4

“…The sample is placed in between the plates, where the gap between the plates determines the amount of strain and the speed of movement along the x-axis denes the strain rate. [37][38][39][40] Here the polyimide strip has been placed in a way that the printed MSCs are at the outer surface and therefore are subjected to tensile stress conditions. Bending fatigue tests have been carried out with bending radii of 5 mm and 2.5 mm, respectively.…”

A universal approach to ‘host’ carbon nanotubes on a charge triggered ‘guest’ interpenetrating polymer network for excellent ‘green’ electromagnetic interference shielding

“…10d). 61,[62][63][64] The IPN-CNT construct was glued onto a flexible substrate and together had a thickness of 0.3 mm. Therefore, the maximum strain at the outer surface was 1.5% and mostly tensile in nature, along its cross-section (as the IPN-CNT construct was placed at the outer surface).…”

Inkjet‐Printed Metal Oxide/PEDOT:PSS‐Based Diodes and Rectifiers for Wireless Power Transfer

“…The sufficiently high work function of PEDOT:PSS (5.1 eV) [12] compared to that of a-IGO (3.89 eV) (Figure S7, Supporting Information) allows formation of a Schottky barrier with large barrier height at the a-IGO/PEDOT:PSS junction (Figure S8, Supporting Information). [38] On the other hand, as previously mentioned, low-temperature-curable [37,39,40] silver inks have also been printed in some cases on top of the printed PEDOT:PSS layer to increase the ON-state current and operation frequency; this is because the additional silver layer helps to reduce the total series resistance of the printed diodes. Here, it may be noted that an ideal Schottky junction diode could have also been achieved with a-IGO/Ag interface; the Ag nanoparticulate inks demonstrate work function values (4.3-4.7 eV) [39] that are sufficiently higher than a-IGO to form a decent barrier at the interface; however, in this case, with Ag nanoparticuate layer, analogous to organic light-emitting diodes, [41,42] an excessive negative capacitance has been observed in the C-V characteristics, as shown in Figure S9, Supporting Information, which may actually be due to the presence of unknown components/additives within the particular commercial Ag nanoink formulation.…”
