  • Sintering under nitrogen (N2) to create vertical compositional gradients and under air for surface functionalization.

    • Main Results:

    • Fabrication of highly conductive (1.88 ± 0.7 × 10^6 S m^-1) metallic patterns at low temperatures (<150 °C).
    • In situ formation of Ag and Cu nanoparticles with a self-regulated vertical compositional gradient (Cu on top, Ag beneath) upon sintering under N2.
    • Generation of a porous CuO layer with high electrocatalytic activity for glucose sensing upon sintering under air, stable for over 2 hours.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel Ag-Cu MOD ink enables low-temperature, single-step inkjet printing of functional electronic components.
    • The unique vertical compositional gradient enhances conductivity and allows for tailored surface properties.
    • This approach demonstrates a viable pathway for fabricating integrated glucose sensors.
