ABSTRACTIn this paper, we present ink-jet printing as an attractive alternative to lithography and etching methods for the development of multi-filamentary YBa2Cu3O7-δ coated conductors. Our research is mainly focused on the study of the influence of rheological parameters on the printability of water-based inks in order to produce superconducting patterns on SrTiO3 and CeO2-La2Zr2O7-Ni5at%W substrates. An aqueous YBCO precursor ink with a total metal ion concentration of 1.1 mol/L with a viscosity of 6.79 mPa s and a surface tension of 67.9 mN/m is developed. Its printing behavior using several ink-jet printing devices is verified using a camera with strobed illumination to quantify droplet velocity and volume. After optimization of the deposition parameters, YBCO tracks with different dimensions could be printed on both types of substrates. Their shape and dimensions were determined using optical microscopy and non-contact profilometry, showing 100-200 nm thick and 40-200 µm wide tracks. Finally, resistivity measurements were performed on the widest tracks on SrTiO3 showing a clear drop in the resistivity starting from 88.6 K with a ∆Tc of 1.4 K.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we combine the use of Drop-on-Demand (DOD) ink-jet printing with completely water- based inks as a novel approach to the CSD process for coated conductors. This method holds the promise of improved scalability due to lower ink losses, continuous processing and a drastically increased precursor lifetime due to the prevention of solvent evaporation and dust incorporation. Moreover, ink-jet printing has the potential to switch quite easily from continuous coatings to a multi-filamentary pattern, which is particularly important for alternating current (AC) or field applications of coated conductors. The fluid properties, often expressed with dimensionless constants, like the Reynolds and Weber numbers, for printable liquids were determined. For proof-of-concept, single crystals of SrTiO3 with a low mismatch towards YBCO, were used as substrates.

AbstractThis paper discusses the development of environmentally-friendly precursor inks suited for ink-jet printing of functional ceramic coatings. We synthesized superconducting materials, SrTiO3 thin films for coated conductor applications and transparent TiO2 photocatalytic coatings. Here, we discuss all aspects of ink formulation, including the stabilization of metal ions, nanoparticle inks or combination of both. This demands the investigation and determination of the inks rheological parameters. Ceramic nanoparticles are often incorporated in our inks to decrease thermal processing temperatures (e.g., TiO2 or YSZ coatings...) or enhance the properties of the functional ceramic coating (e.g., pinning centres in superconducting coatings). These ceramic nanoparticles (ZrO2, HfO2, TiO2...) are synthesized through methods based on microwave heating from aqueous and/or organic solutions. With that, we aim at developing smart and environmentally friendly processes that require lower energy input.
