摘要
Conventional electronic manufacturers are generally not easily accessible due to complicated procedures, time, material and energy consuming, and may generate potential pollution to the environment. From an alternative, liquid metal printed electronics to quickly fabricate electronic circuits and functional devices were proposed a decade before. To promote the further development and application of liquid metal printed electronics, this review aims to summarize and analyze the progress of liquid metal printed electronics from three aspects, namely electronic inks, printing technology and applications. Then, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities for further development of liquid metal printed electronics from several aspects including material modification, technological innovation, equipment upgrading and potential applications. It is expected that liquid metal printed electronics allow one to make electronics at anytime, anywhere at low cost which indicates the coming of a new era of ubiquitous electrical engineering.
