| Abstract Scope |
MoS2 is a promising functional material for various applications, including tribological coatings, and flexible electronics. While solution-based coating or printing can realize MoS2 additive manufacturing (AM), the evaporation of the solvent can affect the manufacturability, and post-drying can complicate the manufacturing process. In this paper, we introduce a dry powder-based electrospray process for scalable AM of MoS2 film and surface, which is critical for further functional applications. To achieve optimal performance, we will understand the electrospray process for dry MoS2 powder manufacturing, and establish the relationship between the manufacturing process (e.g., voltage, spray distance, and pressure) and structures (e.g., density, and uniformity). |
