研究目的
To develop a low-temperature sinterable particle-free silver ink for flexible electronics that overcomes the limitations of commercial silver nanoparticle-based inks, such as high sintering temperatures and stability issues.
研究成果
The SOC-based ink demonstrates high conductivity (1.68 × 10^7 S/m) at a low sintering temperature of 80°C, excellent jetting and storage stability over 5 months, and superior tolerance to bending and crushing compared to commercial nanoparticle inks, making it highly suitable for flexible electronics in harsh conditions.
研究不足
The ink requires specific complexing agents and solvents, which may limit scalability or compatibility with other materials. Sintering time and temperature, while low, still need optimization for industrial applications. The study focuses on polyimide substrates; performance on other flexible materials is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves formulating a silver-organo-complex (SOC) based ink and comparing its performance with commercial silver nanoparticle inks. Methods include inkjet printing, sintering at low temperatures, and mechanical testing for flexibility and durability.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The ink is printed on 50 μm polyimide (PI) substrates. Commercial ANP ink (DGP-40LT) is used for comparison.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Dimatix DMP-2830 material printer, polyimide substrate, silver acetate complex with ethylamine, ethanolamine, formic acid, water, methanol, 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and commercial ANP ink.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Ink is formulated and printed with drop-spacing of 20 μm. Films are sintered at 80°C for 5 minutes per layer or 30 minutes after multiple layers. Conductivity is measured, and bending/crushing tests are performed with an 18 mm radius.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Conductivity is measured as a function of printed layers, and resistance changes are monitored during bending and crushing tests using DC measurements.
