a) Schematic
showing the formulation and printing of the PG ink,
(i) PG platelets are mixed with an aqueous solution of carboxymethyl
cellulose (CMC) to which 1-octanol is added to form intersheet bridges;
the dispersion is homogenized (ii) and 3D printed (iii) to fabricate
woodpile and interdigitated electrodes. b) SEM images of printed PG
lines obtained using nozzles of different diameters: 410, 250, and
200 μm (top to bottom, respectively), scale bars are 100 μm.
c) SEM images of a woodpile electrode (i) and cross-section images
of a printed strut at increasing magnification (ii)–(iv), scale
bars are 100, 30, 20, and 1 μm, respectively. d) Pictures of
woodpile electrodes (1 cm2 footprint area) presenting an
increasing number of layers: 2 (i), 4 (ii), 6 (iii), and 8 (iv) layers.
