“…An alternative to using commercially available SPEs is to screen print the SPEs on different, lighter, and biodegradable printing materials that are low-cost, such as paper. By using paper as the printing material, sustainable SPEs or other printed electronics can be made [7][8][9][10][11][12]. From the environmental sustainability point of view, printing on recyclable and biodegradable materials presents the must for all future developments.…”

The deinking of paper-based printed electronics is a growing concern regarding the increase of printed electronics products. The benefits of using paper-based substrates instead of polymer or ceramic for the single-use printed electrodes can contribute to sustainability goals. The use of invasive plant species for making paper substrates for printed electronics is a unique opportunity to have several environmental benefits. In this study, the recycling issue of these products through the use of the deinking technique was evaluated. Screen-printed electrodes printed on an invasive plant-based paper and commercial cardboard were deinked, and their optical, morphological, and silver residues in paper and corresponding water extract were analyzed. The invasive plant-based paper had higher silver content in the recycled paper sheets, which influenced the optical and surface resistivity and residue ink particle number. On the other hand, the surface-treated cardboard had lower silver particle content after deinking, but higher silver concentrations in the water extract. The results indicate that ink-paper surface and ink-fibre interaction and adhesion is vital in the ink silver particles binding during the deinking process.

Modification of cellulosic paper with carbon nanotubes (CNT) was studied for the development of electronic and analytical devices. Interesting results were published by using a CNT aqueous solution and the capillary forces of filter paper to make conductive tracks, supercapacitors, potentiometric electrodes and chemometric sensors. In this report, we show for the first time an electrochemical characterization of CNT‐CS‐SDS paper electrodes constructed with an ink containing optimized proportions of multi‐wall CNT, chitosan (CS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and we compared our data with CNT‐SDS paper electrodes constructed with a previously reported ink. We achieved better reversibility (ΔE=131±14 mV, CVs) and reproducibility (RSD=3.63 %) with CNT‐CS‐SDS paper electrodes, when compared to CNT‐SDS paper electrodes (ΔE=249±7 mV; RSD=6.8 %) used as controls. When electrodes were fold at 90° angle, CNT‐CS‐SDS paper electrodes showed lower RSD than CNT‐SDS paper electrodes, 8.43 % and 21.5 % respectively. These results are in concordance with SEM analysis indicating a dense CS film in CNT‐CS‐SDS paper electrodes. As a proof of concept, we determine dopamine concentration by DPV in the presence of ascorbic and uric acids, the limit of detection calculated was 6.32 μM. Moreover, a bismuth‐film was prepared by in situ plating of Bi into CNT‐CS‐SDS paper electrodes. ASV allowed us to detect Pb in the presence of Bi (10–200 ppb) with a limit of detection of 6.74 ppb.

“…In recent years, practical PON devices have been introduced by using cellulose filter paper and their close sub-products [33, 34]. These materials can be used for the development MFC biosensors used for toxicity and metabolisms detection [5, 6, 35, 36]. MFCs based biosensors to be used as PON devices need to be constructed with low cost materials (electrodes, membranes, etc), taking into account fabrication and waste disposal methods; all related in some way with the environmental impact of the designed product.…”

One limiting aspect to make microbial fuel cells (MFCs) a viable technology is to obtain low cost and environmentally sound materials for their components. In this work we synthesized membranes by a simple procedure involving low price and biodegradable materials such as poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), chitosan (CS) and PVA:CS, all cross-linked with sulfuric acid; they were compared to Nafion®, as our reference/control membrane. PVA:CS show lower oxygen permeability in comparison to Nafion® membranes, a strong advantage in order to maintain anaerobic conditions in the anodic compartment of MFCs. Membranes were characterized in typical H-Type MFCs, and results show that PVA:CS membranes outperform Nafion® 4 times (power production) while being 75 times more economic. Moreover, we design a paper-based micro-scale MFC, which was assayed as a toxicity biosensor; we obtained results in less than 20 min using 16 μL volume samples containing formaldehyde as a model toxicant. The PVA:CS membrane presented here can offer low environmental impact (materials, fabrication and disposal) and become a very interesting option for point of need single use disposable analytical devices.
