Additive manufacturing for electrochemical labs: An overview and tutorial note on the production of cells, electrodes and accessories

The effect of water ingress on additively manufactured electrodes

“…1 Such benefits have led to increasing adoption of AM technologies, 1,2 and they are especially useful in laboratory settings where they can be used to produce a variety of bespoke sample holders, fixtures, and devices, all of which might otherwise be prohibitively expensive. 3,4 In particular, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) has seen widespread adoption because of the relatively low cost of FFF printers and the simplicity of their use. 2 In FFF, a millimetre scale thermoplastic polymer filament is passed through a heated nozzle such that it melts and can be extruded onto a substrate where it cools and re-solidifies.…”

Developing reactors for electrifying bio-methanation: a perspective from bio-electrochemistry

“…Development of 3D electrodes allows the electrode geometry/topology to be optimized for a given reactor volume, housing, and integration with fluid flow to promote turbulent mixing and reduce the thickness of the diffusion layer to push biocompatible current densities to relatively higher values. 77–83 Thus, manufacturing of 3D electrodes to improve reactor utilization is not an end in itself, but a means for reducing the diffusion layer thickness to enable larger current densities without impacting the biological performance.…”

Electrochemical Biosensor for SARS-CoV-2 cDNA Detection Using AuPs-Modified 3D-Printed Graphene Electrodes

“…The emergence of conductive filaments allowed the use of 3D printing for the preparation of electrochemical devices. These filaments are usually composed of carbon black (CB) or graphene (G) as conductive materials and polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) [ 4 ]. The production of 3D printed sensors based on graphene has been widely explored and is an interesting option.…”
