“…% MWNTs loaded into the acrylate polymer, the electrical conductivity of the composite resin increased over 11 orders of magnitude and reached 46.8 S/m. Wu et al [81] prepared printing ink by milling CNTs in a solution composed of isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, and the dispersion agent. This ink was used to make carbon nanotubes-based 3D printed microsupercapacitors (MSCs).…”

Additive manufacturing (AM)/3D printing (3DP) is a revolutionary technology which has been around for more than two decades, although the potential of this technique was not fully explored until recently. Because of the expansion of this technology in recent years, new materials and additives are being searched for to meet the growing demand. 3DP allows accurate fabrication of complicated models, however, structural anisotropy caused by the 3DP approaches could limit robust application. A possible solution to the inferior properties of the 3DP based materials compared to that of conventionally manufactured counterparts could be the incorporation of nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) which have demonstrated remarkable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. In this article we review some of the research, products, and challenges involved in 3DP technology. The importance of CNT dispersion in the matrix polymer is highlighted and the future outlook for the 3D printed polymer/CNT nanocomposites is presented.

“…Using this ink and processing method, interdigitated planar supercapacitor was created with a H 2 SO 4 /poly(vinyl alcohol) gel electrolyte. The supercapacitor has an areal specific capacitance of 1255 ± 74 mF cm −2 at a current density of 4.2 ± 0.8 mA cm −2 , much higher than other supercapacitors prepared via DIW …”

Three‐dimensional (3D) printing brings exciting prospects to the realm of conjugated polymers (CPs) and organic electronics through vastly enhanced design flexibility, structural complexity, and environmental sustainability. However, the use of 3D printing for CPs is still in its infancy and remains full of challenges. In this review, we highlight recent studies that demonstrate proof‐of‐concept strategies to mitigate some of these problems. Two general additive manufacturing approaches are featured: direct ink writing and vat photopolymerization. We conclude with an outlook for this thriving field of research and draw attention to the new possibilities that 3D printing can bring to CPs. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

“…The moderate content CNT ink was extruded and piled up continuously on hot basal with a predefined temperature to remove the solvent. The printed MSC showed a high areal capacitance of 2.44 Fcm −2 and good cycle stability . Multimaterial printing was also demonstrated to construct different parts of MSCs by extruding continuously, see Figure .…”

Microsupercapacitors (MSCs) are integrated into microdevices or chip‐based systems to store energy and power the chip efficiently, as they present excellent performance capabilities including high power density, fast charge/discharge rate, and long cycle time. Providing sufficient surface area and high electric conductivity are effective ways to enhance ion diffusion and charge transportation in electrodes, which in turn leads to high performance behavior. Herein, the novel progress of on‐chip MSCs in the past few years ranging from active materials synthesis to high‐resolution fabrication techniques is summarized, and the strategies to enhance the performance of MSCs are focused upon. From conventional materials to nanocomposite hybrid structures, the main active materials for MSC electrodes and the related fabrication techniques are reviewed in detail according to their different electrochemical performance. It is concluded that hierarchical porous‐structured materials and high‐resolution fabrication processes are of great importance in constructing high‐performance devices, which also demonstrates the future developing direction of on‐chip energy devices. The new developments of fabrication technologies such as microfabrication, laser direct writing, and inkjet printing are also discussed to show their advantages in forming high‐performance electrodes.
