Room‐Temperature Plasma‐Assisted Inkjet Printing of Highly Conductive Silver on Paper

Abstract

Abstract For the first time, the plasma‐assisted inkjet printing of metal‐organic decomposition (MOD) inks is demonstrated to provide an easily up‐scalable method toward the deposition of highly conductive silver features on paper. Atmospheric plasma sintering methods provide a fast and effective alternative to thermal treatment. This high‐speed, room‐temperature approach ensures the immediate conversion of the MOD inks after printing and thus overcomes wetting issues typically encountered in porous substrates—a mechanical solution to a chemical problem.
