Zink

Sol–Gel Assisted Inkjet Hologram Patterning

Hereby, it is presented for the first time a method of producing holographic text and images using inkjet printing. For this purpose, colorless TiO₂ ink with a high refractive index is used and deposited on top of exposed poly(ethylene terephthalate)‐based microembossed paper by an inkjet printer. Nanoscale coating the paper containing printed text or graphics with transparent polymers or lacquers provides an optical effect of selective preservation of the holographic pattern. The resulting image is preserved only at the site of the colorless ink with a high refractive index from an inkjet printer, allowing to quickly generate any image with a holographic effect. Achieving these results has succeeded through the use of a colloidal dispersion of nanocrystalline titania with a refractive index of 1.75 ± 0.08 in the entire visible range, which meets inkjet rheological requirements. It is shown that the diffraction effect and optical transparency in the visible region are fully preserved. For the first time, it is demonstrated the importance of chemically prepared nanomaterials and nanostructures for an application in the field of holography.

High-brightness perovskite quantum dot light-emitting devices using inkjet printing

The performance of perovskite quantum dot light-emitting diodes (PeQLEDs) has been rapidly enhanced recently, but the devices are still stuck in the stage of using small-scale solution processes, such as spin-coating. In this work, we report the realization of high performance PeQLEDs by using inkjet printing technique. We demonstrate the preparation of a printable perovskite quantum dot ink by using a hybrid solvent consisting of high boiling solvent dodecane and low boiling solvent n-octane. A universal strategy for eliminating coffee rings during inkjet printing of perovskite inks is developed based on the modulation of ink formulation, and the stacking model of perovskite quantum dot in a pixel pit structure is proposed. The inkjet-printed PeLEDs exhibit a low turn-on voltage of 2.7 V, a brightness of 10992 cd/m² at 6.6 V and a maximum current efficiency of 8.67 cd/A, which is by far the highest value reported for inkjet-printed PeLEDs. The results pave a way for future realization of high performance pixelated PeLED displays with inkjet printing technique.     

Surface Charge Reversal Method for High‐Resolution Inkjet Printing of Functional Water‐Based Inks

Printed electronics is a rapidly growing area of research being explored for the manufacture of large‐area and cost‐effective electronic devices by the patterned application of functional inks. There are challenges associated with processing the inks compatible with inkjet printing technology and developing efficient methods to successfully obtain the desired features, particularly when it comes to metal and metal–organic complex inks. Here, a reliable method is developed to achieve a sophisticated microstructured pattern using the inkjet printing technique assisted by a surface charge reversal effect. In addition, a procedure is formulated to obtain good quality, stable metal–organic water‐based inks compatible with salts of a variety of transition metals and rare earths, without the need for additional volatile solvents. A feasible and water‐based ink formulation combined with a simple and noninvasive surface charge reversal treatment constitutes a major step toward the manufacture of high‐resolution, inorganic patterned thin films on hydrophobic substrates using inkjet printing. These outcomes lead to the path of effective fusion of inorganic and organic heterointerfaces by simples designing and printing.     

Formulation and processing of novel conductive solution inks in continuous inkjet printing of 3-D electric circuits

One of the greatest challenges for the inkjet printing electrical circuits is formulation and processing of conductive inks. In the present investigation, two different formulations of particle-free conductive solutions are introduced that are low in cost, easy to deposit, and possess good electrical properties. A novel aqueous solution consisting of silver nitrate and additives is initially described. This solution demonstrates excellent adherence to glass and polymers and has an electrical resistivity only 2.9 times that of bulk silver after curing. A metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) ink is subsequently introduced. This ink produces a close-packed silver crystal microstructure after low-temperature thermolysis and subsequent high-temperature annealing. The electrical conductance of the final consolidated trace produced with the MOD ink is very close to bulk silver. In addition, the traces produced with the MOD material exhibit excellent wear and fracture resistance. When utilized in a specialized continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing technology system, both particle-free solution inks are able to produce conductive traces in three dimensions. The importance of three-dimensional (3-D) printing of conductive traces is finally discussed in relation to the broad range of applications in the freeform fabrication industry.     

Fully solution-processed organic thin-film transistors by consecutive roll-to-roll gravure printing

A high-performance/flexible organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) is fabricated by using all-step solution processes, which are composed of roll-to-roll gravure, plate-to-roll gravure and inkjet printing with the least process number of 5. Roll-to-roll gravure printing is used to pattern source/drain electrodes on plastic substrate while semiconductor and dielectric layers are printed by consecutive plate-to-roll gravure printing. Finally, inkjet printing of Ag organometallic ink is used to pattern the gate electrode. The fabricated OTFT exhibits excellent electrical performance, field-effect mobility over 0.2 cm²/Vs, which is one of the best compared to the previous works. The deposition of a self-assembled monolayer on the source-drain electrodes results in a higher work function which is suitable for a p-type polymer semiconductor. Moreover, the formation of dense gate electrode line on hydrophobic dielectric is achieved by selecting suitable Ag ink.
