One of the rapidly advancing fields of science and technology in the 21st century is energy and energy storage technologies. Major industrial corporations, technology firms, and universities are heavily investing in this area. Scientific research and industrial investments in energy storage systems have significantly increased in recent years, with the global energy storage market expected to reach $188 billion by 2027. These technologies are being utilized across a wide range of applications, from microelectronic circuits to wearable health devices, flexible displays, and solar panels.
Printable ink technology allows conductive, semiconductive, and insulating materials to be formulated into inks and printed onto various surfaces. The screen printing technique is one of the most efficient methods for printable ink applications, both technically and economically. This method enables the production of electrodes with high precision while offering cost-effective solutions with minimal material waste. Additionally, the use of inks with thixotropic properties ensures smooth spreading, which enhances the final product’s performance.
In this project, our goal is to develop sustainable and innovative solutions in energy storage technologies by utilizing environmentally friendly materials such as reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The electrode inks produced through the screen printing technique will promote environmental sustainability while offering cost-efficient energy storage solutions.
