All-photonic drying and sintering process via flash white light combined with deep-UV and near-infrared irradiation for highly conductive copper nano-ink.

ABSTRACT: We developed an ultra-high speed photonic sintering method involving flash white light (FWL) combined with near infrared (NIR) and deep UV light irradiation to produce highly conductive copper nano-ink film. Flash white light irradiation energy and the power of NIR/deep UV were optimized to obtain high conductivity Cu films. Several microscopic and spectroscopic characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were employed to characterize the Cu nano-films. Optimally sintered Cu nano-ink films produced using a deep UV-assisted flash white light sintering technique had the lowest resistivity (7.62???·cm), which was only 4.5-fold higher than that of bulk Cu film (1.68???•cm).

Nano-Silver Ink of High Conductivity and Low Sintering Temperature for Paper Electronics.

Project description:Highly conductive ink with low sintering temperature is important for printed electronics on paper substrate. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of different average radii ranging from 48 to 176 nm were synthesized by adjusting the Ag+ concentration in the reaction process. The electric resistivity of the Ag NP-based ink film in relation to Ag NP size, sintering temperature, amount of PVP capping agent on Ag NP surface, and morphology evolution of the film during heating process was investigated. It was found that the resistivity of the films reduced very rapidly with increasing particle size due above all to reduced amount of protective agent capping on the Ag NPs. A semi-empirical relationship between the resistivity and the particle size was proposed. With the help of this mathematical expression, one gains both systematic and detailed insight to the resistivity evaluation with regard to the Ag particle size. The optimal electric resistivity of 4.6 μΩ cm was achieved at 140 °C for 10 min which was very close to the resistivity value of bulk Ag (1.58 μΩ cm). Mechanical flexibility of the printed electronics with the Ag NP-based ink on paper substrates was investigated. The prints on the art coated paper exhibited better flexibility compared to that on the photopaper. This might be attributed to the surface coating composition, surface morphology of the paper, and their corresponding ink absorption property.

Sintering Copper Nanoparticles with Photonic Additive for Printed Conductive Patterns by Intense Pulsed Light.

Project description:In this study, an ink formulation was developed to prepare conductive copper thin films with compact structure by using intense pulsed light (IPL) sintering. To improve inter-particle connections in the sintering process, a cuprous oxide shell was synthesized over copper nanoparticles (CuNP). This cuprous oxide shell can be reduced by IPL with the presence of a reductant and fused to form connection between large copper particles. However, the thermal yield stress after strong IPL sintering resulted in cracks of conductive copper film. Thus, a multiple pulse sintering with an off time of 2 s was needed to reach a low resistivity of 10-5 ?·cm. To increase the light absorption efficiency and to further decrease voids between CuNPs in the copper film, cupric oxide nanoparticles (CuONP) of 50 nm, were also added into ink. The results showed that these CuONPs can be reduced to copper with a single pulse IPL and fused with the surrounding CuNPs. With an optimal CuNP/CuONP weight ratio of 1/80, the copper film showed a lowest resistivity of 7 × 10-5 ?·cm, ~25% conductivity of bulk copper, with a single sintering energy at 3.08 J/cm2. The ink can be printed on flexible substrates as conductive tracks and the resistance remained nearly the same after 10,000 bending cycles.

Fast near infrared sintering of silver nanoparticle ink and applications for flexible hybrid circuits.

Project description:Near infrared(NIR) sintering technology is a photonic sintering approach for metal nanoparticle inks, which can selectively sinter metal nanoparticle inks more quickly and efficiently, and it is also compatible with high-throughput manufacturing processes. In this paper, silver nanoparticle (AgNP) ink sintered by near infrared light at a peak wavelength of 1100 nm was investigated. After only 8 seconds of exposure to NIR irradiation, resistivity of 2.78 μΩ cm was achieved for thin films printed with AgNP ink, which was only 1.7-fold higher than that of bulk silver (1.59 μΩ cm). The structure of the sintered silver film was examined by sintering printed silver nanoparticle ink samples having different thicknesses, and the results showed that AgNPs were homogeneously coalesced throughout the cross-sections of films, indicating the formation of dense silver layers. Furthermore, the morphology and electrical resistivity of the sintered AgNP film dried by NIR were compared with those of the film dried on a hot plate. It was found that drying conditions with a relatively long drying time rather than the drying temperature contributed to the reduction of voids in the film and to the improvement in its density and electrical performance. Finally, a flexible hybrid circuit integrated with a microcontroller chip on a poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) substrate was fabricated by screen printing with AgNP ink for interconnects, and its surface roughness and flexibility were investigated.

Particle Surface Softening as Universal Behaviour during Flash Sintering of Oxide Nano-Powders.

Project description:The dissipated electric power in oxide powder compacts, subjected to flash sintering, is several hundreds of W·cm-3. This power is analyzed considering local softening/melting and transient plasma/liquid formation at the particle contacts due to thermal runaway. The sudden increase in compact electric conductivity and dissipated power referred to current percolation through the softening/liquid formed at the particle contacts, at the percolation threshold. The energy-balance and heat transfer considerations during the transient flash event are consistent with the local heating of the nanoparticle contacts to the ceramic melting temperature, or above it. The formation of the plasma by field emission of electrons is also considered.

Flash Sintering Research Perspective: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Project description:Flash Sintering (FS), a relatively new Field-Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST) for ceramic processing, was proposed for the first time in 2010 by Prof. Rishi Raj's group from the University of Colorado at Boulder. It quickly grabbed the attention of the scientific community and since then, the field has rapidly evolved, constituting a true milestone in materials processing with the number of publications growing year by year. Moreover, nowadays, there is already a scientific community devoted to FS. In this work, a general picture of the scientific landscape of FS is drawn by bibliometric analysis. The target sources, the most relevant documents, hot and trending topics as well as the social networking of FS are unveiled. A separate bibliometric analysis is also provided for Reaction or Reactive Flash Sintering (RFS), where not only the sintering, but also the synthesis is merged into a single step. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of this nature carried out in this field of research and it can constitute a useful tool for researchers to be quickly updated with FS as well as to strategize future research and publishing approaches.

Ultrafast-Contactless Flash Sintering using Plasma Electrodes.

Project description:This paper presents a novel derivative of flash sintering, in which contactless flash sintering (CFS) is achieved using plasma electrodes. In this setup, electrical contact with the sample to be sintered is made by two arc plasma electrodes, one on either side, allowing current to pass through the sample. This opens up the possibility of continuous throughput flash sintering. Preheating, a usual precondition for flash sintering, is provided by the arc electrodes which heat the sample to 1400 °C. The best results were produced with pre-compacted samples (bars 1.8 mm thick) of pure B4C (discharge time 2s, current 4A) and SiC:B4C 50 wt% (3s at 6A), which were fully consolidated under a heating rate approaching 20000 °C/min. For the composite a cylindrical volume of 14 mm(3) was sintered to full density with limited grain growth.

Benzothiazole heterogeneous photodegradation in nano ?-Fe2O3/oxalate system under UV light irradiation.

Project description:The photodegradation of benzothiazole (BTH) in wastewater with the coexistence of iron oxides and oxalic acid under UV light irradiation was investigated. Results revealed that an effective heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like system could be set up for BTH abatement in wastewater under UV irradiation without additional H2O2, and 88.1% BTH was removed with the addition of 2.0?mmol?l-1 oxalic acid and 0.2?g?l-1 ?-Fe2O3 using a 500?W high-pressure mercury lamp (365?nm). The degradation of BTH in the photo-Fenton-like system followed the first-order kinetic model. The photoproduction of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in different systems was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Identification of transformation products by using liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution tandem mass spectrometry provided information about six transformation products formed during the photodegradation of BTH. Further insight was obtained by monitoring concentrations of the sulfate ion (SO42-) and nitrate ion (NO3-) , which demonstrated that the intermediate products of BTH could be decomposed ultimately. Based on the results, the potential photodegradation pathway of BTH was also proposed.

Electrical sintering of silver nanoparticle ink studied by in-situ TEM probing.

Project description:Metallic nanoparticle inks are used for printed electronics, but to reach acceptable conductivity the structures need to be sintered, usually using a furnace. Recently, sintering by direct resistive heating has been demonstrated. For a microscopic understanding of this Joule heating sintering method, we studied the entire process in real time inside a transmission electron microscope equipped with a movable electrical probe. We found an onset of Joule heating induced sintering and coalescence of nanoparticles at power levels of 0.1-10 mW/μm³. In addition, a carbonization of the organic shells that stabilize the nanoparticles were found, with a conductivity of 4 10⁵ Sm⁻¹.

Millisecond photonic sintering of iron oxide doped alumina ceramic coatings.

Project description:The sintering of alumina (Al2O3) traditionally occurs at high temperatures (up to ca. 1700 °C) and in significantly long times (up to several hours), which are required for the consolidation of the material by diffusion processes. Here we investigate the photonic sintering of alumina particles using millisecond flash lamp irradiation with extreme heating rates up to 108 K/min. The limitation of the low visible light absorption of alumina is resolved by adding colored α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, which initiated the grain growth during sintering. After the millisecond-long light pulses from a xenon flash lamp, a bimodal mixture of α-Al2O3 precursor particles was sintered and iron segregation at the grain boundaries was observed. The proposed photonic sintering approach based on doping with colored centers may be extended to other refractory ceramics with low absorption in the visible light range once appropriate high-absorbing dopants are identified.
