Abstract
Inks printing is an innovative and practicable technology capable of fabricating the next generation of flexible functional systems with various designs and desired architectures. As a result, inks printing is extremely attractive in the development of printed wearables, including wearable sensors, micro supercapacitor (MSC) electrodes, electromagnetic shielding, and thin-film batteries. The discovery of Ti3C2Tx in 2011, a 2D material known as a MXene, which is a compound composed of layered nitrides, carbides, or carbonitrides of transition metals, has attracted significant interest within the research community because of its exceptional physical and chemical properties. MXene has high metallic conductivity of transition metal carbides combined with hydrophilic behavior due to its surface terminated functional groups, all of which make it an excellent candidate for promising inks printing applications. This paper reviews recent progress in the development of 2D MXene inks, including synthesis procedures, inks formulation and performance, and printing methods. Further, the review briefly provides an overview of future guidelines for the study of this new generation of 2D materials.
Highlights
The utilization of 2D nanomaterials has attracted increasing attention from the materials science and engineering research communities owing to their exceptional chemical, electrical, thermal, and optical behaviors, which make these materials useful for generation applications.Ink printing of 2D materials offers promising manufacturing technologies in many applications, including wearable electronics, micro supercapacitor (MSC) electrodes, thin-film batteries, flexible electronics, electronic skins, health monitoring sensors for implantable medical devices, and microrobots [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
The degree of exfoliation or intercalation of the MXene layers can be determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), or X-Ray diffraction
A self-aligning printing process was combined with a stamp for the fabrication of flexible MSC made of graphene
Summary
The utilization of 2D nanomaterials has attracted increasing attention from the materials science and engineering research communities owing to their exceptional chemical, electrical, thermal, and optical behaviors, which make these materials useful for generation applications. Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, ink printing techniques include inkjet printing, screen printing, and extrusion printing or stamping, all of which are fast, low cost, and easy processes that permit high printing resolution and flexible digital patterning. Is more accurate in deposing materials patterning. Since it is controlled by computer, inkjet printing could reduce waste generation. In terms of mass production, inkjet printing is still used far less than other conventional methods [14,19]. We will describe theirthat pertinent rheological, thermal, and transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXene), materials have high intrinsic thermal and electrical conductivity, well as excellent and mechanical properties electronic properties, and as their usefulness in hydrophilic the most promising printing methods, such
