Optimization of microstructure in high-silver content conductive inks <i>via</i> solvent volatilization modulation for application in flexible electronics.

ABSTRACT: Flexible printed electronics represent a swift, efficient, and cost-effective technique for depositing metallic conductive materials onto flexible substrates, particularly with the pivotal advancement of functional conductive inks. Metal-organic decomposition conductive inks have garnered substantial interest owing to their straightforward synthesis, convenient storage, and low processing temperatures. However, during low-temperature heating, these inks frequently encounter issues such as fast pyrolysis and gas escape, leading to numerous defects in the microstructure of silver films. Moreover, low silver content results in a high volumetric shrinkage rate, negatively impacting electrical conductivity. To address these limitations, this study synthesized four distinct silver precursors and
