Abstract

The recent years various, there huge interest to improve the efficiency of smart electronic and optoelectronic devices via developing emerging materials and printing technologies. However, printing technologies becomes one of the most interesting areas for researcher over a convenient coating method because it not only helps to improve the efficiency of device but also help for rapid, reproducible, and low-cost production which open as a new window for mass production for commercial use. Inkjet printing technology has become the most attractive among various printing technologies due to which it is acceptable in most of scientific and various of industrial applications. This review paper presents an overview of the investigations on formulation of the ink, fabrication, and the applications of conductive polymer via inkjet printing for variety of devices including supercapacitors, sensors, electrochromic devices, and patterning of conductive polymers on flexible substrates. The review covers the different conducting polymer explored for supercapacitors, sensors, electrochromic devices, and patterning of conductive polymers, their ink formulation, inkjet printing process and their keys features. This review also presented future perspectives for inkjet printing technology for advanced electronic, optoelectronic, and other conductive polymer-based devices. We believe this review provides new direction to next generation conductive polymer-based devices for various applications.
