Inkjet Printable Conductive Activated Carbon Ink from Sustainable Sources.
Article in ACS applied electronic materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Inkjet printing offers an attractive manufacturing method for flexible and large-area electronics, yet formulating sustainable inks not derived from fossil fuels represents a major challenge toward environmentally friendly technologies. Here, we present a conductive ink formulated for inkjet printing, consisting only of renewable and nontoxic components, namely electrically conductive activated carbon nanoparticles, ethyl cellulose as binder and stabilizer, and ethanol-terpineol mixture as the dispersant. The ink is composed of activated carbon nanoparticles with a diameter between 30 and 120 nm and exhibits high colloidal stability, dynamic viscosity and surface tension within an ideal range for inkjet printing. The ink produces electrically conductive patterns, achieving a resistivity of 6.6 Ω cm. Such result enables the manufacturing of printed resistive elements in electronic circuits, where the sheet resistance is tunable by the drop spacing and/or layers number of the printing process. As a proof-of-concept of future printed sustainable sensors, we employed this formulation to produce a resistive humidity sensor capable of detecting the moisture content in the air exhaled during respiration. The conductive ink herein presented is a step toward the quest for sustainable materials for environmentally friendly printed electronics.
