| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing is transforming the design of energy storage devices by enabling on-demand printing of architected electrodes and integrated power sources. Direct ink writing (DIW) is especially suited to three-dimensional batteries and micro-supercapacitors because it can pattern multiple materials within a single build. We employ MXene-based inks to leverage their conductivity and layered structures. By tuning solid loading, shear-thinning behavior, and interparticle interactions, we print devices with high electrochemical and mechanical properties. An automated workflow assigns a printing score to each ink formulation and recommends parameter adjustments, accelerating printing optimization. We further develop hybrid MXene inks tailored for battery and supercapacitor electrodes. This talk will detail ink design strategies and printing optimization techniques that convert MXenes’ intrinsic properties into enhanced device-level performance. We conclude with prospects for scaling DIW MXene architectures into flexible and structural electronics and outline future challenges for widespread adoption. |
