3D Printing of Highly Electrically Conductive Zinc for Sustainable Electronics Applications
A 3D printable zinc ink system with active zinc particles in a shellac matrix is demonstrated. The results show high conductivity, stable performance of printed structures under varying humidity conditions, and promising application in disposable water‐activated batteries. This technology combining digital material assembly, reliable operation, and non‐
