Owing to their capability of bypassing conventional high-priced and inflexible silicon based electronics to manufacture a variety of devices on flexible substrates by using large-scale and high-volume printing techniques, printed electronics (PE) have attracted increasing attention in the field of manufacturing industry for electronic devices. This simple and cost-effective approach could enhance current methods of constructing a patterned surface for nanomaterials and offer opportunities for developing fully-printed functional devices, especially offering the possibility of ubiquitous low-cost and flexible devices. This review presents a summary of work to date on the inorganic nanomaterials involved in PE applications, focused on the utilization of inorganic nanomaterials-based inks in the successful preparation of printed conductive patterns, electrodes, sensors, thin film transistors (TFTs) and other micro-/nanoscale devices. The printing techniques, sintering methods and printability of functional inks with their associated challenges are discussed, and we look forward so you can glimpse the future of PE applications.
由于其能够绕过传统的高价格和不灵活的基于硅的电子技术，通过使用大规模和大容量的印刷技术在柔性基板上制造各种设备，印刷电子（PE）在电子设备制造领域引起了越来越多的关注。这种简单且具有成本效益的方法可以增强当前构建纳米材料图案表面的方法，并为开发全印刷功能设备提供机会，特别是提供无处不在的低成本和灵活设备的可能性。本综述介绍了迄今为止在 PE 应用中涉及的无机纳米材料的工作摘要，重点介绍了基于无机纳米材料的油墨在成功制备印刷导电图案、电极、传感器、薄膜晶体管（TFT）和其他微/纳米尺度器件中的应用。讨论了印刷技术、烧结方法和功能油墨的可印刷性及其相关挑战，我们期待着能够一窥 PE 应用的未来。
