Fig. 3

a Viscosity curve of the VegPU/Ag ink. b Photo images of the printed VegPU/Ag electrode before and after sintering solution treatment, scale bar: 600 µm. c The resistance change of freshly printed VegPU/Ag electrode during sintering solution, DI water, and heat treatment. d Conductivity, surface profiles (e), thickness (f), SEM images (g), C-AFM (h) of sintering solution-, DI water-, and heat-treated VegPU/Ag electrode (n = 3). i The recycling of the VegPU/Ag conductor printed on VegPU substrate, including dissolving in DMF solvent, collecting of the VegPU and Ag flakes, and the degradation of VegPU at the end of life. Scale bar in (g): 2 µm.
