Abstract

In this contribution, we report on the optimization of a metal-organic decomposition (MOD) ink based on silver(I) complexes by a systematic variation of the ink formulation. As a result, three different ink concepts turned out to be printable and resulting in a sufficiently high contour definition, layer homogeneity, and conductivity. The ink concepts include increase of the solid load, the usage of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a humectant with low vapor pressure, addition of co-solvents such as diethylene glycole and addition of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as stabilizing ligand. It turns out that, for silver precursor concentrations of 40 wt%, the addition of 1 wt% SLS to aqueous inks leads to elevated conductivity up to 3.2x107 Sm-1 at maintained printability and an improved contour definition with respect to pure aqueous inks.
