Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transient electronics, specifically relating to a transient electronic conductive ink, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of electronic devices and information technology, data security and information protection have become increasingly important. This is mainly reflected in two aspects: firstly, the cracking of information storage devices leads to the leakage of confidential information; secondly, the imitation of advanced electronic technologies leads to technological leaks and the loss of technological advantages. Therefore, to prevent data leakage and information theft, transient electronic technology can be used to damage sensitive electronic devices at the hardware level, thereby physically protecting information or destroying out-of-control devices. Unlike the long lifespan and high reliability requirements of general electronic devices, transient electronic devices can operate normally for a period of time, and then, after completing their predetermined tasks or receiving a termination command, they can be partially or completely disintegrated through active or passive triggering.
[0003] Currently, although transient electronics technology has developed to a certain scale, some problems still exist. For example, transient modules are difficult to integrate into microelectronic chips and are incompatible with semiconductor chips; the destruction is incomplete and takes a long time, posing a risk of information leakage; and the transient triggering conditions are harsh, posing a potential risk of transient failure. These defects and problems severely limit transient electronics technology.

The two are bound together by electrostatic attraction between the imidazole cations of the ionic fuel and the π-electron system of the carbon nanotubes. The cation-π interaction involves electron-rich π systems (e.g., benzene, ethylene, acetylene) and adjacent cations (e.g., Li). + Na + Non-covalent molecular interactions between surfaces; this interaction is an example of non-covalent bonding between unipolar (cationic) and tetrapolar (π system); the carbon nanotubes coated with the fuel layer carry the same charge and can be uniformly dispersed in various solvents without sedimentation;

Each carbon nanotube is coated with an energetic coating layer, and these interconnections also form a three-dimensional conductive network. This facilitates normal operation of the circuit under low voltage. Furthermore, the energetic coating layer on the carbon nanotubes allows for effective ignition of the coating layer and release of energy when the carbon nanotubes are stimulated by high voltage, resulting in a short-term temperature increase.
