Abstract [en]

Many emerging industry applications demand electronic systems with reliable operation at temperatures >300 °C. To date, the most promising on‐chip power sources, micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs), can only operate at temperatures up to 250 °C for a short period as limited by the vulnerability of their electrolyte frameworks at high temperatures. Here, a strategy is proposed to use liquids to lock the phase transformations of bassanite microrods for scalable on‐chip printing of interlocking ceramic frameworks with high thermal stability. The robust ceramic frameworks enable simple yet scalable fabrication of MSCs to work at 300 °C with an areal capacitance of up to >60 mF cm −2 and only ≈3% performance degradation after 1000 cycles during a test period of ≈3 h. A large‐scale MSC array, consisting of 20 cells within a footprint area of 4 cm × 8 cm, has been able to supply a power of 7.2 mW at 300 °C. These break through the present limit of 250 °C of almost all high‐temperature energy storage devices and pave the way for on‐chip MSCs for high‐temperature electronics.

Abstract [en]

The rapid advancement of miniaturized electronics demands compact, high-performance on-chip energy storage with seamless integration. Printed micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are promising candidates, offering high power density, long cycle life, and inherent compatibility with planar integration. Direct printing techniques like direct ink writing (DIW) and direct laser patterning (DLP) enable flexible design, material versatility, scalability, and high precision on-chip integration. However, realizing miniaturized MSCs that combine high electrochemical performance, scalability, environmental versatility and seamless on-chip fabrication remains challenging. Key obstacles include developments of high-performance material design and well-defined patterning strategies. 

Part I of this thesis enhances MSC performance and printing scalability using DIW. The first work developed a doped PEDOT:PSS electrode ink with optimized rheology and electrochemical properties, enabling fully printed compact 100-cells MSC arrays on paper substrate with high capacitance, ultrahigh-rate capability, and an extended operating voltage window (up to 160 V) for efficient instantaneous electricity storage. The second work significantly improves thermal stability through a DIW-printable bassanite framework combined with ionic liquid electrolytes, enabling the MSC array a long-term cycling at a record temperature of 300 °C. These advances demonstrate ink formulation designs for DIW enabled scalable fabrication of high-rate, robust MSC array capable of operating across diverse application environments.

Part II of this thesis improves on-chip MSC performance and integration based on DLP approach. The third work utilized DLP in hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) to directly fabricate 3D hierarchical inorganic electrodes with self-formed nanogratings. Based on this structure, a compact on-chip MSCs with exceptional rate performance was fabricated with high-rate performance of 1 mF cm-2 at 50 V s-1 and high temperature stability up to 200 °C. The fourth work further using the 3D nanograting printing approach tailored on-chip MSC electrode microstructures to achieve high-frequency line-filtering up to 10 kHz. The precise fabrication of 3D standing nanograting structure provides large open surface area, facilitating fast ion transport, resulting in highly compact on-chip MSC with the highest reported areal capacitance of 0.32 mF cm-2 at 10 kHz, thereby enabling effective filtering applications and further advancing the miniaturization of capacitors in microelectronic systems. These results establish DLP as a powerful approach for the high-precision construction of on-chip 3D structures and pave the way for integration of ultra-compact MSCs into miniaturized electronic systems for high-frequency applications.

Abstract [sv]

Den snabba utvecklingen av miniatyriserad elektronik ställer krav på kompakt, högpresterande energilagring på chip med sömlös integration. Tryckta mikrosuperkondensatorer (MSCs) är lovande kandidater då de erbjuder hög effekttäthet, lång cykellivslängd och inneboende kompatibilitet med plan integration. Direkta trycktekniker såsom direct ink writing (DIW) och direct laser patterning (DLP) möjliggör flexibel design, materialmångfald, skalbarhet och högprecis integrering på chip. Att realisera miniatyriserade MSC:er som kombinerar hög elektrokemisk prestanda, skalbarhet, miljömässig mångsidighet och sömlös integration på chip är dock fortfarande en utmaning. Centrala hinder är utvecklingen av högpresterande materialdesign samt väldefinierade mönstringsstrategier.

Del I av denna avhandling förbättrar MSC-prestanda och tryckbar skalbarhet med hjälp av DIW. Det första arbetet utvecklade ett dopat PEDOT:PSS-elektrodbläck med optimerad reologi och elektrokemiska egenskaper, vilket möjliggjorde fullständigt tryckta, kompakta 100-cells MSC-arrayer på papperssubstrat med hög kapacitans, ultrahög laddnings-/urladdningshastighet samt ett utökat driftspänningsfönster (upp till 160 V) för effektiv omedelbar energilagring av elektricitet. I den andra studien förbättrades den termiska stabiliteten avsevärt genom en DIW-printbar bassanitram kombinerad med jonvätskeelektrolyter, vilket möjliggjorde långtidscykling av MSC-arrayer vid en rekordtemperatur på 300 °C. Dessa framsteg visar på bläckformuleringsdesigner för DIW som möjliggör skalbar tillverkning av högfrekventa, robusta MSC-arrayer kapabla att fungera i varierande applikationsmiljöer.

Del II av denna avhandling förbättrar prestanda och integrering av MSC:er på chip baserat på DLP-metoden. I den tredje studien användes DLP i hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) för att direkt tillverka 3D-hierarkiska oorganiska elektroder med självorganiserade nanogitter. Baserat på denna struktur framställdes kompakta MSC:er på chip med exceptionell frekvensprestanda, uppvisande en arealkapacitans på 1 mF cm⁻² vid 50 V s⁻¹ och hög temperaturstabilitet upp till 200 °C. I den fjärde studien vidareutvecklades 3D-nanogitterstrategin för att skräddarsy MSC-elektroders mikrostrukturer på chip och därigenom uppnå högfrekvent linjefiltrering upp till 10 kHz. Den precisa framställningen av stående 3D-nanogitterstrukturer ger en stor öppen yta, vilket underlättar snabb jontransport och resulterar i en mycket kompakt MSC på chip med den högsta rapporterade arealkapacitansen, 0,32 mF cm⁻² vid 10 kHz. Detta möjliggör effektiva filtreringsapplikationer och driver ytterligare miniatyriseringen av kondensatorer i mikroelektroniska system. Dessa resultat etablerar DLP som en kraftfull metod för högprecisionskonstruktion av 3D-strukturer på chip och för integrering av ultrakompakta MSC:er i miniatyriserade elektroniska system för högfrekventa applikationer.
