手绘纸基器件:迈向绿色柔性电子与传感应用

摘要: 现代电子技术的快速发展导致了固体电子废弃物的激增,这对环境和健康构成了重大挑战。本综述重点关注了通过低成本手工印刷技术制造的纸质电子设备的最新进展,特别强调了其在能量收集、储存和传感方面的应用。与传统的塑料基底不同,纤维素纸具有生物可降解性、可回收性和制造成本低等优点。通过在纸上集成二维硫属化合物、金属氧化物、导电聚合物和碳基结构等功能纳米材料,研究人员已成功制备出高性能设备,如宽带光电探测器(响应率高达52 mA/W)、超级电容器(能量密度约15.1 mWh/cm2)和压力传感器(灵敏度约18.42 kPa−1)。手工印刷方法无需使用复杂设备和有毒溶剂,为可扩展、可持续和一次性电子设备的发展提供了一条有前景的途径。本综述概述了制造方法和关键性能指标,并讨论了实现与绿色技术和联合国可持续发展目标相一致的稳健、灵活设备的当前挑战和未来方向。

 

Hand-printed paper-based devices: Toward green flexible electronics and sensing applications

Abstract: The rapid advancement of modern electronics has led to a surge in solid electronic waste, which poses significant environmental and health challenges. This review focuses on recent developments in paper-based electronic devices fabricated through low-cost, hand-printing techniques, with particular emphasis on their applications in energy harvesting, storage, and sensing. Unlike conventional plastic-based substrates, cellulose paper offers several advantages, including biodegradability, recyclability, and low fabrication cost. By integrating functional nanomaterials such as two-dimensional chalcogenides, metal oxides, conductive polymers, and carbon-based structures onto paper, researchers have achieved high-performance devices such as broadband photodetectors (responsivity up to 52 mA/W), supercapacitors (energy density ~15.1 mWh/cm2), and pressure sensors (sensitivity ~18.42 kPa−1). The hand-printing approach, which eliminates the need for sophisticated equipment and toxic solvents, offers a promising route for scalable, sustainable, and disposable electronics. This review outlines fabrication methods and key performance metrics, and discusses the current challenges and future directions for realizing robust, flexible devices aligned with green technology and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
