Low-temperature processing of screen-printed piezoelectric KNbO₃ with integration onto biodegradable paper substrates.

ABSTRACT: The development of fully solution-processed, biodegradable piezoelectrics is a critical step in the development of green electronics towards the worldwide reduction of harmful electronic waste. However, recent printing processes for piezoelectrics are hindered by the high sintering temperatures required for conventional perovskite fabrication techniques. Thus, a process was developed to manufacture lead-free printed piezoelectric devices at low temperatures to enable integration with eco-friendly substrates and electrodes. A printable ink was developed for screen printing potassium niobate (KNbO₃) piezoelectric layers in microns of thickness at a maximum processing temperature of 120 °C with high reproducibility.
