Title: Printed Conductive Transparent Films for the Fabrication of Sensors by Aerosol Inkjet Systems

Abstract

Fabrication of sensors using additive manufacturing printers holds the promise for low-cost sensors for continuous and real time monitoring of physical and chemical parameters in industrial settings. Aerosol inkjet systems have demonstrated the capability to print small feature sizes with high precision using a variety of materials. Here, advances in nanomaterials suitable for use by such printers raises the possibility of having transparent, conductive films and sensors. Typically, transparent conductive films are fabricated using metallic oxides and complicated procedures on rigid substrates. In this paper, we present the results of the combination of silver nanowires formulations and aerosol inkjet systems for the fabrication of transparent conductive films by printing and its characterization. Implications for utilization of conductive, transparent sensors in manufacturing and industrial processes settings are discussed.

Fabrication of Low Cost Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors Using Direct Printing by Aerosol Inkjet

Journal Article Morales-Rodriguez, Marissa E. ; Joshi, Pooran C. ; Humphries, James R. ; ... - IEEE Access

Advancements in additive manufacturing techniques, printed electronics, and nanomaterials have made it possible for the cost-effective fabrication of sensors and systems. Low-cost sensors for continuous and real time monitoring of physical and chemical parameters will directly impact the energy-efficiency, safety, and manufacturing challenges of diverse technology sectors. In this paper, we present the design, printing, and characterization of a two-port surface acoustic wave (SAW) integrated on LiNbO₃ substrate. The aerosol jet printer was used for direct-writing of interdigitated transducers for SAW devices with center frequency in the range of 40-87 MHz. In conclusion, the linear response of a temperature sensormore »« less

INKJET PRINTING OF NICKEL AND SILVER METAL SOLAR CELL CONTACTS

Journal Article Pasquarelli, R ; Curtis, C ; Van Hest, M - Journal of Undergraduate Research

With about 125,000 terawatts of solar power striking the earth at any given moment, solar energy may be the only renewable energy resource with enough capacity to meet a major portion of our future energy needs. Thin-fi lm technologies and solution deposition processes seek to reduce manufacturing costs in order to compete with conventional coal-based electricity. Inkjet printing, as a derivative of the direct-write process, offers the potential for low-cost, material-effi cient deposition of the metals for photovoltaic contacts. Advances in contact metallizations are important because they can be employed on existing silicon technology and in future-generation devices. We reportmore »« less

Impact of pulse thermal processing on the properties of inkjet printed metal and flexible sensors

Journal Article Joshi, Pooran C. ; Kuruganti, Teja ; Killough, Stephen M. - ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology

In this paper, we report on the low temperature processing of environmental sensors employing pulse thermal processing (PTP) technique to define a path toward flexible sensor technology on plastic, paper, and fabric substrates. Inkjet printing and pulse thermal processing technique were used to realize mask-less, additive integration of low-cost sensors on polymeric substrates with specific focus on temperature, humidity, and strain sensors. The printed metal line performance was evaluated in terms of the electrical conductivity characteristics as a function of post-deposition thermal processing conditions. The PTP processed Ag metal lines exhibited high conductivity with metal sheet resistance values below 100more »« less

All-aerosol-jet-printed highly sensitive and selective polyaniline-based ammonia sensors: a route toward low-cost, low-power gas detection

Journal Article Fisher, Christine ; Warmack, Bruce J. ; Yu, Yongchao ; ... - Journal of Materials Science

In this work, we report the design and scalable fabrication of a low-cost and low-power polyaniline-based (PANI) ammonia (NH3) gas sensor on polyimide (PI) substrates using additive manufacturing techniques. The silver interdigitated electrode (IDE) arrays and conducting polymer films are printed onto PI using a direct-write technology of aerosol-jet printing. Morphological characteristics are examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis which reveal homogeneously printed PANI film on the IDE platform. The gas sensing performance is evaluated in the analytical early leak detection range of 5–1000 ppm NH3 in air as a function of both thermal (23 °C, 50more »« less
