Application of direct ink writing in energy storage devices

Abstract Direct ink writing (DIW), as an ideal electrode manufacturing method, makes it more convenient to fabricate electrochemical energy storage devices (EESDs) with complex structures and uniform pores. Electrodes with 3D structure have better performance than traditional electrodes in electrolyte transport and ion penetration. First, the framework structure of electrochemical energy storage devices is introduced, and then based on the impact of ink direct writing technology on the performance improvement of energy storage devices, a key review is made on carbon materials such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, MXene layered materials, and polymer gels. Ink types are used for the manufacture and modification of electrodes such as lithium batteries, nickel-iron batteries, zinc-air batteries, and a summary of the performance of 3D printed energy storage devices modified by different materials in the near future is made. Finally, an outlook on the future opportunities and challenges for DIW is presented.
