A Brief Review on Fabrication of Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode: Materials and Techniques

Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one of the most interesting designs to combine a working (from based material), reference, and counter in single-printed substrate. SPCE has been used many electrochemical measurements due its advantages for analysis microscale. This paper summarises main information about fabrication from material technique aspect on flat substrate work that published last 30 years. The success highly dependent composition conductive ink which consists materials, binder, solvents; substrate; techniques. Among carbon-based widely fabrications are graphite, graphene, nanotubes. frequent binder polymer-based materials such as polystyrene, polyaniline, poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), polyvinyl chloride. solvents varied including water various organic solvents. characteristics should be inert order avoid any interferences during measurements. screen printing inkjet preferred easy possibility mass production SPCE.
