Impact Of Calendering And Silver Addition To Carbon Nanotube-Based Electrodes Used In Printed Multi-Layer Capacitors, Ramea Awni Al-Mubarak
Masters Theses
As the demand for global energy increases, the need for development of alternative clean and sustainable energy technology increases. Creating advanced energy devices with a large storage capacity plays a significant role in this development. This research focused on investigating the performance of capacitor devices used as energy storage cells by optimizing and determining the impact of silver percentage and structure (nano-wires or silver flake) added to CNT ink on the conductivity of printed layers, and studying the influence of calendering the multi-layer capacitor electrodes. Multi-layer capacitors were fabricated by screen printing three alternative layers of conductive and dielectric inks …

The increasing demand for miniaturized electronic devices has increased the need for rechargeable micro-power sources. Although lithium and lithium ion batteries have been utilized in these applications since the late 1990s, other energy harvesting technologies, such as thermal, mechanical, and solar, are now being used to augment batteries to enable systems to be self-powered. However, the lifetime of any battery is finite, which may be a major problem when the application is in a permanent structure or medical implant device. For power or significant energy storage applications, printed multilayer capacitors or supercapacitors are being explored as an enhancement, or replacement …
