Abstract
Conductive and bio-friendly gold nanomaterial inks are highly desirable for printed consumer electronics, energy, and healthcare. With Ag (silver) being the most commercially available ink for the Super Ink Jet Printer, expanding the library of available inks for SIJ is important. With Au (gold) being one of them. The gold is synthesized using sodium tetrachloroaurate as the gold precursor and reduced to metal gold nanoparticles by dropwise addition of sodium borohydride. After synthesis, the solvent is replaced with pure water and the gold nanoparticles are concentrated to formulate a printable ink. The synthesized gold ink met the technical requirements of the SIJ printer, which was verified through TEM, DSC/TGA, DLS, and contact angle measurements. Based on the observed characteristics it is anticipated that the as-synthesized gold ink can be printed with the SIJ printer.
