“…Therefore, a clean and smooth surface as well as a proper surface wettability of the substrates is critical for achieving high‐quality patterning and printing precision. Several techniques, such as wet chemical treatment, raising the substrate temperature, and oxygen plasma treatment, have been widely applied to different substrates to tune the surface wetting and drying properties for obtaining proper morphology of the printed features …”

Printed electronics are an important enabling technology for the development of low-cost, large-area, and flexible optoelectronic devices. Transparent conductive films (TCFs) made from solution-processable transparent conductive materials, such as metal nanoparticles/nanowires, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and conductive polymers, can simultaneously exhibit high mechanical flexibility, low cost, and better photoelectric properties compared to the commonly used sputtered indium-tin-oxide-based TCFs, and are thus receiving great attention. This Review summarizes recent advances of large-area flexible TCFs enabled by several roll-to-roll-compatible printed techniques including inkjet printing, screen printing, offset printing, and gravure printing using the emerging transparent conductive materials. The preparation of TCFs including ink formulation, substrate treatment, patterning, and postprocessing, and their potential applications in solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and touch panels are discussed in detail. The rational combination of a variety of printed techniques with emerging transparent conductive materials is believed to extend the opportunities for the development of printed electronics within the realm of flexible electronics and beyond.

“…To balance the cationic charge of PEDOT and allow the dispersion of PEDOT in water, polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) is introduced to form the water-soluble polymer PEDOT:PSS [ 17 ]. PEDOT:PSS can be applied in solid electrolyte capacitors [ 18 ], antistatic coatings [ 19 ], and anode electrodes in organic electronic devices, such as light-emitting diodes [ 20 ], field effect transistors [ 21 ], photovoltaic cells [ 22 ], and flexible sensors on sensing skin [ 23 ]. Moreover, strain sensors with PEDOT:PSS on polyimide and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flexible substrates have been demonstrated to present sufficient piezoresistive properties for biosensor applications [ 24 – 26 ].…”

The piezoresistive characteristics of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) pressure sensors with inter-digitated (IDE) and cross-point electrode (CPE) structures have been investigated. A small variation of the resistance of the pressure sensors with IDE without bottom indium-tin-oxide (b-ITO) film and with CPE structures was observed owing to the single carrier-conducting pathway. For the IDE pressure sensors with b-ITO, the piezoresistive characteristics at low and high pressure were similar to those of the pressure sensors with IDE without b-ITO and with CPE structures, respectively, leading to increased piezoresistive pressure sensitivity as the PEDOT:PSS film thickness decreased. A maximum sensitivity of more than 42 kΩ/Pa was achieved. When the normal pressure was applied, the increased number of conducting points or the reduced distance between the PEDOT oligomers within the PEDOT:PSS film resulted in a decrease of the resistance. The piezoresistive pressure sensors with a single carrier-conducting pathway, i.e., IDE without b-ITO and CPE structures, exhibited a small relaxation time and a superior reversible operation, which can be advantageous for fast piezoresistive response applications.
