研究目的
To develop an ink-jet printed temperature sensor using PEDOT:PSS on paper substrates for applications in packaging and flexible electronics, and to investigate the influence of substrates and ink modifications on sensor performance.
研究成果
The ink-jet printed PEDOT:PSS temperature sensor on photo paper substrate demonstrated a high temperature coefficient of α = -0.030, attributed to the substrate's NaCl content affecting the PEDOT:PSS morphology. This makes it suitable for packaging and flexible electronics. Future work could explore optimization of ink formulations and substrate treatments for enhanced performance.
研究不足
The high surface roughness of cardboard substrates prevented reliable AFM measurements. The study was limited to specific substrates and ink formulations; other materials or conditions might yield different results. Moisture influence was mitigated but not fully eliminated. The sensor's performance in real-world applications (e.g., varying humidity, mechanical stress) was not extensively tested.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved ink-jet printing of PEDOT:PSS lines and sensors on various substrates (cardboard, photo paper, glass) to evaluate print quality, resistance, and temperature sensitivity. Different ink formulations (pristine and modified with additives like DMSO, PEG, EG, Triton X100) were used to assess their effects.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Substrates included cardboard (Invercote-T, 280 g/m2), photo paper (Epson Glossy, 225 g/m2), and microscopy glass slides. Samples were prepared with one to five printed layers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a Dimatix 2831 piezoelectric materials printer, AFM (Dimension ICON, Bruker), optical profiler (ContourGT, Bruker), Agilent3400 multimeter, confocal Raman spectrometer (Horiba Xplora Plus), and SEM (MAIA3, Tescan). Materials included PEDOT:PSS ink (Orgacon IJ-1005, Agfa), silver nanoparticle ink (DGP-40LT-15C, ANP), and various chemicals for ink modification.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Inks were printed with specific drop spacing and dried. Resistance measurements were conducted using a two-point probe method under nitrogen flow, with temperature controlled by a Peltier cooler. AFM, optical profiler, Raman spectroscopy, and SEM were used for characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using software like NanoScope Analysis and Vision64. Resistance changes with temperature were measured, and temperature coefficients were calculated.
