As the industry and commercial market move towards the optimization of printing and additive manufacturing, it becomes important to understand how to obtain the most from the materials while maintaining the ability to print complex geometries effectively. Combining such a manufacturing method with advanced carbon materials, such as Graphene, Carbon Nanotubes, and Carbon fibers, with their mechanical and conductive properties, delivers a cutting-edge combination of low-cost conductive products. Through the process of printing the effectiveness of these properties decreases. Thorough optimization is required to determine the idealized ink functional and flow properties to ensure maximum printability and functionalities offered by carbon nanoforms. The optimization of these properties then is limited by the printability. By determining the physical properties of printability and flow properties of the inks, calculated compromises can be made for the ink design. In this review we have discussed the connection between the rheology of carbon-based inks and the methodologies for maintaining the maximum pristine carbon material properties.

The growing demand for efficient energy storage systems, particularly in portable electronics and electric vehicles, has led to increased interest in supercapacitors, which offer high power density, rapid charge/discharge rates, and long cycle life. However, improving their energy density without compromising performance remains a challenge. In this study, we developed novel 3D-printed reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes coated with polyaniline (PANI) to enhance their electrochemical properties.

Silver bismuth sulfide nanocrystals (AgBiS NCs) embody a pioneering heavy-metal-free photovoltaic material renowned for its ultrahigh absorption coefficient, offering promising opportunities for advancing the field of ultra-thin and biocompatible solar cells. Currently, the fabrication of AgBiS NC photovoltaic devices relies on hot-injection synthesis and subsequent tedious ligand exchange, leading to high production cost, complex processes and environmental pollution. Here, we developed a direct-synthesis (DS) method without ligand-exchange for AgBiS NC semiconductive inks, significantly simplifying the material preparation and device fabrication processes.

Developing metal free room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have received tremendous attention due its potential application in various fields such as sensing, optoelectronics and anticounterfeiting. Herein, we have synthesized an excitation wavelength and time dependent phosphorescent boron doped carbon nanodots (BCNDs) by thermal treatment of ethanolamine and boric acid at 240 °C, where boric acid act as both doping and host agents. The obtained BCNDs display blue to orange fluorescence in both aqueous medium and solid state.

Kynurenic acid (KA) is an active metabolite of tryptophan with notable biological effects, such as antioxidant, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties. It often undergoes changes of the concentration in biological fluids in chronic diseases. Thus, detecting KA is of great importance for diagnosing inflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions, monitoring disease progression, and assessing responses to pharmacological treatment.
