Abstract

In this study, graphene oxide (GO)‑silver nitrate (AgNO3) composite ink was prepared with stable printability, which could match the direct-write print technique for patterning GO-AgNO3 composite structure. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‑silver (Ag) porous structure could be obtained with a freeze-drying and gas phase reduction process. The rGO-Ag porous structure could reach a conductivity of 3.2 × 105 S/m through quantum penetration effect with the bridging action. Subsequently, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) encapsulated the rGO-Ag porous structure, and a special composite structure of PDMS/ rGO-Ag/PDMS films could be obtained by adjusting the wetting effect. PDMS provided a good tensile property and excellent bending resistance, and then a relative resistance changes within 5 % could be achieved after the number of 10,000 bending times. With the rGO-Ag porous structure compressed into a thinner film, an ultra-precise flexible electrothermal performance could be realized with the conductive network and flexible package structure. The surface temperature of fabricated composite film could reach 201.3 °C at the voltage of 7 V, within a heating time of 25 s, and maintaining the temperature for 1800 s. Meanwhile, the flexible electrothermal film could keep a stable temperature after 120 power on/power off cycles. Furthermore, the flexible electrothermal film also has a linear temperature control ability, which could carry out the linear temperature control with different temperature regions. At last, the ultra-precise flexible electrothermal film exhibits an excellent applying effect for the wrist hot compress, pipeline heating and window cleaning with uneven ice thickness. Therefore, the direct-write printed porous graphene-Ag structure presents a special property for fabricating ultra-precise flexible electrothermal film, which could provide a great research significance and application value in printing electronic structure and manufacturing electronic device.
