High‐Performance Direct Ink Writing of <scp>PEDOT</scp> : <scp>PSS</scp> ‐Based Conductive Inks for Flexible Electronics

ABSTRACT Direct ink writing offers significant advantages in the field of flexible electronics, including design flexibility and broad applicability. Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), as one of the most widely used conductive polymers, faces a common dilemma between printability and conductivity when formulated into printable inks, as adding surfactants to its solution often degrades electrical performance. To address this, this paper presents a high‐performance conductive ink suitable for direct ink writing. Using PEDOT:PSS particles as the raw material, the relationship between material composition and rheological properties is systematically analyzed, establishing a printing window for key process parameters. This ink demonstrates both excellent printability and high electrical conductivity (up to 79 S/cm). It enables the efficient and reliable fabrication of customizable flexible circuits, providing a new material and process pathway for the functional integration of conductive polymers.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Direct ink writing offers significant advantages in the field of flexible electronics, including design flexibility and broad applicability. Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), as one of the most widely used conductive polymers, faces a common dilemma between printability and conductivity when formulated into printable inks, as adding surfactants to its solution often degrades electrical performance. To address this, this paper presents a high‐performance conductive ink suitable for direct ink writing. Using PEDOT:PSS particles as the raw material, the relationship between material composition and rheological properties is systematically analyzed, establishing a printing window for key process parameters. This ink demonstrates both excellent printability and high electrical conductivity (up to 79 S/cm). It enables the efficient and reliable fabrication of customizable flexible circuits, providing a new material and process pathway for the functional integration of conductive polymers.
