Stretchable organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are promising for wearable applications within biosensing, bio-signal recording, and addressing circuitry. Efficient large-scale fabrication of OECTs can be performed with printing methods but to date there no reports on high-performance fully printed stretchable OECTs. Herein, this challenge is addressed by developing screen-printed based...

Abstract Structural carbon fibre composite batteries are a type of multifunctional that combine the energy storage capability battery with load-carrying ability structural material. To extract current from cell, collectors needed. However, expensive, hard to connect electrode material and add mass system. Further, attaching collector must not affect electrochemical properties negatively or requ...

We report on the materials preparation and device fabrication for screen printed Bi2Te3/Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 annular thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for use in ultra-low-power sensor applications. At a 20K temperature gradient, test couples — n& p-type 1 cm squares connected electrically in series with printed Ag traces — demonstrated an average power of 0.068nW at 26nA and 2.6mV. The material prepar...

Metallic glass (MG) assists electrical contact of screen-printed silver electrodes and leads to comparable electrode performance to that of electroplated electrodes. For high electrode performance, MG needs to be infiltrated into nanometer-scale cavities between Ag particles and reacts with them. Here, we show that the MG in the supercooled state can fill the gap between Ag particles within a r...

In this research, electroplated magnetically isotropic and anisotropic soft alloys and screen-printed soft ferrites applicable to micromachined micromagnetic devices are fabricated and characterized using in situ measurement techniques. Appropriate magnetic materials and deposition methods, such as electroplating and screen-printing techniques, are examined and material test structures are fabr...

A novel procedure is developed for producing bulk modified Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), which involves the direct mixing of the polymer particles within the screen-printed ink. This allowed reduction of the sample preparation time from 45 min to 1 min, and resulted in higher reproducibility of the electrodes. The samples are measured with a novel detecti...
