Wide-Flow Aerosol Jet Printing Enables High-Throughput, Ultra-Low Aspect Ratio Patterning.

ABSTRACT: Functional films have been widely utilized in flexible electronics, biosensing, and energy devices owing to their unique mechanical compliance and excellent interfacial transport efficiency. However, balancing structural precision with processing efficiency remains a key challenge in the scalable fabrication of uniform, low-aspect-ratio architectures across diverse material systems. Here, wide-flow aerosol jet printing (WF-AJP), a high-throughput printing method capable of generating planar aerosol jets, is introduced. Reshaping the nozzle into a flattened rectangular geometry generates a collimated planar flow that enables millimeter-scale deposition in a single pass (aspect ratio < 1:6000, thickness < 500 nm), a capability unattainable by conventional circular-nozzle printing.
