Synthesis of 3D printing materials and their electrochemical applications

ABSTRACT Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has the advantages of low cost, easy structure operation, rapid prototyping, and easy customization. In the past few years, materials with different structures, compositions, and properties have been widely studied as prospects in the field of 3D printing. This paper reviews the synthesis methods and morphologies of one-, two- and three-dimensional micro/nano materials and their composites, as well as their applications in electrochemistry, such as supercapacitors, batteries, and electrocatalysis. The latest progress and breakthroughs in the synthesis and application of different structural materials in 3D-printing materials, as well as the challenges and prospects of electrochemical applications, are discussed.
