Abstract Scope |
Wearable electronics demand the accelerated development of flexible energy storage devices to enable portability and avoid complex wiring. Additive electronics manufacturing (AEM) creates lightweight, flexible, low-cost energy storage devices with complex geometries. However, the lack of multifunctional nanomaterial inks and the availability of diverse materials limit on-demand printing, and material selection is crucial because the printed device’s performance depends on the design, material, printing method, and post-printing process. Transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides have excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and dispersibility in solvents, making them suitable for energy storage applications. Aerosol Jet printing (AJP) is a promising technique for AEM, and AJP ink development requires tuning the ink rheology including viscosity, surface tension, and solid loading to obtain suitable fluid dynamic parameters for jetting the ink. This study focuses on the development of Ti3C2Tx nanomaterial ink using high-resolution AJP technique, with a specific focus on supercapacitors for energy storage. |
