Abstract Using disposable screen-printed electrodes is a convenient way of monitoring environmental pollution, production process control etc. Usually, commercially available screen-printed electrodes are used, but more and more studies are being carried out in the field of printing electrodes on thinner, low-cost and versatile substrates, including paper. In the present research, the comparison of screen-printed electrodes printed on different paper-based materials is presented. Two unique and innovative invasive plant-based papers made from (1) Japanese knotweed, (2) Canadian and Giant goldenrod and (3) commercially available cardboard were used as a printing material for the electrodes. The selected paper substrates were characterized, and screen-printed electrodes were printed. The influence of substrates’ properties and pre- or post-treatment of the screen-printed electrodes on the electrochemical behaviour is thoroughly analyzed. The results indicate that the printing substrate (roughness) had the most significant influence on the cyclic voltammetry response. Comparing pre- and post-treatment of screen-printed electrodes, it was shown that grinding influenced the electrochemical activity significantly, while corona discharge does not have as significant influence. Besides, it was shown that the invasive plant-based papers are viable alternatives to commercially available papers and can be used as low-cost and eco-friendly alternatives for disposable screen-printed electrodes.

丝网印刷侵入植物纸电极工艺参数对循环伏安法的影响

摘要 使用一次性丝网印刷电极是监测环境污染、生产过程控制等的便捷方式。通常使用市售的丝网印刷电极，但越来越多的研究在更薄、更薄、更薄的印刷电极领域开展研究。低成本和多功能基材，包括纸张。在本研究中，介绍了印刷在不同纸基材料上的丝网印刷电极的比较。两种独特且创新的侵入性植物纸由 (1) 日本虎杖、(2) 加拿大和巨型黄花和 (3) 市售纸板制成，用作电极的印刷材料。对选定的纸基材进行表征，并印刷丝网印刷电极。彻底分析了基材的性能和丝网印刷电极的预处理或后处理对电化学行为的影响。结果表明，印刷基材（粗糙度）对循环伏安响应的影响最显着。比较丝网印刷电极的预处理和后处理，结果表明研磨显着影响电化学活性，而电晕放电没有显着影响。此外，研究表明侵入性植物纸是市售纸的可行替代品，可用作一次性丝网印刷电极的低成本和环保替代品。结果表明，印刷基材（粗糙度）对循环伏安响应的影响最显着。比较丝网印刷电极的预处理和后处理，结果表明研磨显着影响电化学活性，而电晕放电没有显着影响。此外，研究表明侵入性植物纸是市售纸的可行替代品，可用作一次性丝网印刷电极的低成本和环保替代品。结果表明，印刷基材（粗糙度）对循环伏安响应的影响最显着。比较丝网印刷电极的预处理和后处理，结果表明研磨显着影响电化学活性，而电晕放电没有显着影响。此外，研究表明侵入性植物纸是市售纸的可行替代品，可用作一次性丝网印刷电极的低成本和环保替代品。
