ABSTRACTIn this work, a printable tungsten disulfide (WS2) based ink is developed from readily available WS2 powder (0.6 µm average particle size), and an ink-jet printing based deposition method for a tungsten disulfide film is presented. WS2 flake coverage and bulk electrical characteristics under three different irradiance conditions are examined and discussed. Presence of excitons in the absorbance of the inks is performed by optical UV-Vis spectrometry. Metrics using the A exciton peak generated by the few-layered flakes are used to calculate the average flake lateral dimensions, the concentration of WS2 in the inks after size selection and filtering, as well as the average monolayer count of the flakes. After printing, scanning electron microscopy is used to confirm average flake lateral size and average flake area coverage, while an atomic force microscope is used to confirm flake thickness.

Conductive Thin Films

Silver conductive thin films deposited on glass and polyimide substrates by using ink jet printing are studied in this work. Characterization of the printed thin films and comparison with sputtered films are investigated. The micro texture, residual stress, adhesion, hardness, optical reflectance, and electric resistance of the thin films are discussed. The result shows that the ink jet printing has the possibility to replace sputtering in thin film deposition, especially for the polymer substrates.

We have fabricated a low-cost and flexible NH3 gas sensor using thermal ink-jet printing. The poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonated acid (PEDOT/PSS) with thickness of ~ 2 μm was used as a sensing film. The interdigitated electrode using patterned aluminum plate was attached over the sensing film. Atomic force microscopy results show the high homogeneous film and only small roughness is presented on the sensing film. This sensor exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity to NH3 at room temperature. The sensor response works linearly with gas concentrations between 100-1000 ppm. The modulation of conducting polymer/metal electrode interface plays a role in the sensing mechanism of NH3. Changes in the position of interdigitated electrodes can change the dominant sensing mechanism of typical polymer gas sensor.

In order to acquire a suitable ink for ink-jet printing technology, a graphene oxide ink was explored based on the GO aqueous dispersion. The GO dispersion was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average particle diameter and zeta potential of the GO dispersion was determined by zeta potential & particle size analyzer. The GO ink is composed of 1,2-propanediol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, glycerol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and GO dispersion. The surface tension and viscosity of the GO ink was tested by surface tension meter and rheometer. The GO ink was inkjet printed on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The optimal inkjet printing parameters were obtained and the printing quality was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the GO ink is suitable for inkjet printing technology and the morphology of the GO film with one printing pass has good uniformity.
