Description Ceramics have been used in robocasting for more than 10 years; anyway, printing ceramics still presents some challenges such as developing inks formulation and viscoelastic properties. Ceramics structures, with specific properties and functionalities (i. e. ionic conductivity),can be obtained by ink formulation and rheology, robocasting process parameters and post printing processing. These materials can be exploited for energy concersion and storage devices (i. e. solid oxide cells). Despite 3DP in energy systems has great promises for future challenges, this technology has not yet been fully developed and a thoughtful analysis is thus needed to provide specific criteria to link 3DP technology and energy technologies.
The project will be developed at DTU ENERGY, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Denmark, under the co-supervision of Professor Vincenzo Esposito
