Abstract

Inkjet printing offers an attractive route for the manufacture of metal oxide films and allows a low-cost, environmentally friendly route to manufacture. Here we describe a stabilised process for the printing of TiO2 films. This has been achieved through the use of a range of titanium (IV) ink solutions, employing stabilised Ti(OiPr)4 or titanium oxo-alkoxide clusters as the source materials. Printed tracks with feature sizes of 156μm have been achieved, along with more complex architectures of TiO2. XRD analyses shows that the as deposited TiO2 is amorphous.
