Abstract

Inkjet printing of graphene-based conductive inks is an encouraging research approach in the field of printed electronics as both the benefits of inkjet printing and extra-ordinary electronic, optical and mechanical properties of graphene can be exploited [1]. Inkjet printing is one of the most promising techniques for the fabrication of wearable electronics due to number of advantages over conventional manufacturing techniques such as digital and additive patterning, reduction in material waste, deposition of controlled amount of materials and compatibility with various substrates [2]. In addition, graphene is a single atom thick two-dimensional closely packed honeycomb lattice of sp2 carbon allotropes, which has been focus of mass investigations in recent years because of its unique physical and chemical properties [3].
Currently silver nanoparticles (NPs) as inkjet printing inks are the most reported and utilised conductive inks because of their excellent electrical conductivity and strong antioxidant char
