چکیده

Laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) is used to print Li-ion battery electrodes. We show a preferred orientation of LiCoO2 particles in the (003) direction relative to non-laser transferred materials. While the laser energy does not alter the degree of orientation, the number of passes and transfer distance both have a significant influence on the observed texturing. We use a geometric argument based on the arrangement of plate-like particles on the substrate to explain the observations. When the plate-like particles encounter a perfectly flat substrate, they are able to align flat, causing (003) domains parallel to the substrate to be over 30 times more predominant than either (101) and (104) domains. From this maximum degree of orientation subsequent passes decrease the overall texturing of the samples as transferred particles encounter increasingly rough surfaces. At larger transfer distances, the areal density of particles reaching the substrate decreases, resulting in increased available substrate surface area and therefore more predominant particle orienting.

Li-ion microbatteries generated by a laser direct-write method

A laser-based direct-write process is demonstrated as a method to fabricate Li-ion microbatteries. The battery electrodes are made by the laser-induced forward transfer of inks of charge-storage materials (composites of carbon/binder and LiCoO2/carbon/binder) onto micromachined metal-foil current collectors to form 40–60 m thick electrodes with 16 mm2 (4 mm × 4 mm) footprints. Both half cells a...

Dynamic spatial pulse shaping via a digital micromirror device for patterned laser-induced forward transfer of solid polymer films

We present laser-induced forward transfer of solid-phase polymer films, shaped using a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) as a variable illumination mask. Femtosecond laser pulses with a fluence of 200-380 mJ/cm at a wavelength of 800 nm from a Ti:sapphire amplifier were used to reproducibly transfer thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) as small as ~30 μm by ~30 μm with thickness ~1.3 μm. This...

Laser jetting of femto-liter metal droplets for high resolution 3D printed structures

Laser induced forward transfer (LIFT) is employed in a special, high accuracy jetting regime, by adequately matching the sub-nanosecond pulse duration to the metal donor layer thickness. Under such conditions, an effective solid nozzle is formed, providing stability and directionality to the femto-liter droplets which are printed from a large gap in excess of 400 μm. We illustrate the wide appl...

Highly sensitive SnO2 sensor via reactive laser-induced transfer

Gas sensors based on tin oxide (SnO2) and palladium doped SnO2 (Pd:SnO2) active materials are fabricated by a laser printing method, i.e. reactive laser-induced forward transfer (rLIFT). Thin films from tin based metal-complex precursors are prepared by spin coating and then laser transferred with high resolution onto sensor structures. The devices fabricated by rLIFT exhibit low ppm sensitivit...
