Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Additive Manufacturing

Background:

  • Developing conductive composite pastes for 3D printing is crucial for advanced electronics.
  • Silver nanowires offer high conductivity but require careful optimization in composite formulations.
  • Thixotropic rheology is essential for maintaining shape fidelity during 3D printing of functional materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and investigate a 3D printable composite paste with enhanced thixotropic properties and high electrical conductivity.
  • To determine the optimal loading of silver nanowires for achieving a low electrical percolation threshold.
  • To demonstrate the fabrication of a functional lithium battery using 3D printed electrode pastes.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation and characterization of a composite paste incorporating silver nanowires and cellulose.
  • Electrical conductivity measurements and rheological studies to assess material properties.
  • 3D printing of sequential layers to fabricate a multi-component lithium battery.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a significantly low electrical percolation threshold of 0.7 vol.% silver nanowires.
  • Obtained reliable conductivity of 1.19 × 10^2 S/cm with 1.9 vol.% silver nanowires.
  • Successfully 3D printed a three-layered lithium battery (anode, electrolyte, cathode) with demonstrated charging capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed composite paste offers a promising platform for 3D printed conductive materials.
  • The combination of silver nanowires and thixotropic cellulose enables high conductivity and superior printability.
  • This work paves the way for next-generation additive manufacturing of printed electronics and energy storage devices.
