Abstract 
 

Screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) is one of the most interesting designs to 

combine a working (from carbon based material), reference, and counter electrode in 

a single-printed substrate. SPCE has been used in many electrochemical 

measurements due to its advantages for analysis in microscale. This paper summarises 

the main information about SPCE fabrication from the material and fabrication 

technique aspect on the flat substrate based on the work that has been published in the 

last 30 years. The success of SPCE fabrication is highly dependent on the composition 

of conductive ink which consists of conductive materials, binder, and solvents; 

substrate; and fabrication techniques. Among the carbon-based materials, the most 

widely used for SPCE fabrications are graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. The 

frequent binder used are polymer-based materials such as polystyrene, polyaniline, 

poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene:polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), and polyvinyl 

chloride. The solvents used for SPCE fabrication are varied including water and 

various organic solvents. The main characteristics of the SPCE substrate should be 

inert in order to avoid any interferences during electrochemical measurements. The 

screen printing and inkjet printing technique are preferred for SPCE fabrication due 

to easy fabrication and the possibility for mass production of SPCE.

INTRODUCTION 

The development of electrochemical sensors is 

increasing rapidly every year. Those electrochemical 

sensors are applied for in-situ monitoring and point of 

care testing in pharmaceutical, biomedical, industrial, 

and environmental analysis. Since the in-situ 

monitoring and point of care analysis need a rapid and 

simple procedure, a disposable electrode is required.  

Screen printing-based electrodes is a disposable 

electrode for electrochemical sensors that suits the 

requirement. The screen-printed electrode combines 

working, reference, and a counter electrode in a 

substrate that supports the miniaturization and 

portability aspect of the sensor. Furthermore, due to 

the ease in its fabrication mass production of a screen-

printed electrode is possible to conduct.  

Several types of screen-printed electrodes have 

been already developed, among other screen-printed 

electrodes fabricated from carbon-based material gain 

a lot of attention. Screen-printed carbon electrode 

(SPCE) combines a carbon working electrode, a 

reference electrode, and a counter electrode in a 

substrate. The properties of carbon material including 

a wide potential window, low background current, 

inertness (Matters et al., 2011), and low cost (Liu et 

al., 2012) drives the massive usage of SPCE for the 

electrochemical sensor. 

Various methods for SPCE fabrication 

techniques have been investigated and studied in 

numerous scientific papers. In general, this fabrication 

process includes the preparation of conductive inks for 

working, reference, and counter electrodes as well as 

the printing process of prepared conductive ink onto 

the substrate. The fabrication method is adjusted with 

the character of the conductive ink, the character of the 

substrate, and the intended application of the 

fabricated electrodes. In addition, it is important to 

consider the control over the precision of the process 

and the device in the fabrication process. 

A comprehensive study of SPCE fabrication 

covering materials and techniques is required to 

provide information and references for the success of 

the SPCE fabrication process. Several studies on 

screen-printed carbon electrode fabrication have been 

reported (Figure 1), otherwise to the best of authors 

knowledge, the review focus on SPCE fabrication 

covering materials and fabrication techniques is still

limited. This review focuses on the aspect of material 

for SPCE fabrication including a conductive material, 

substrate, solvent, binder, and the techniques of SPCE 

fabrication including printing and screen printing. 

This review is expected to be a reference for SPCE 

fabrication.

Components for the fabrication of SPCE 

Conductive materials for SPCE fabrication  

The materials for SPCE fabrication have been 

selected by considering the properties to conduct 

electrons in the electrochemical systems. The material 

conductivity will impact the performance of the 

electrochemical system. Beside the conductivity 

properties, the other influencing factors of material 

can be used as an electrode such as potential window, 

background current, and corrosion stability. In 

general, a screen-printed electrode employs carbon 

material as the main component for its working 

electrode. The initial step of SPCE fabrication is the 

production of conductive ink for the working and 

reference electrode. The main component to fabricate 

a working electrode can be carbon derivatives 

materials such as graphite (Petroni et al., 2017) which 

can be obtained from nature (Latupeirissa et al., 2017; 

Tanasale et al., 2014; Sekewael et al., 2015), graphene 

(Karuwan et al., 2012), single-walled carbon nanotube 

(Tortorich et al., 2014), or multi-walled carbon 

nanotube (Da Costa et al., 2015). While the major 

component of conductive ink to produce a reference 

electrode is silver ink.  

Graphite has potency as an electrode material to 

be used for electrochemical sensors fabrication 

regarding its better conductivity than carbon material.  

Graphite has a high surface areas, low molecular 

weight, and behave either as conductor or 

semiconductor (Tortorich and Choi, 2013), a wide 

range of potential window which can be used as a 

good mediator for electron transfer process in the 

working electrode (Kochmann et al., 2012). In 

addition to the good conductivity of graphite 

combined with its corrosion stability can be used as 

the main component for the working electrode as well 

as composite working electrode (Borenstein et al., 

2017). 

Graphene can be used as a material alternative for 

the working electrode due to its high conductivity, 

high surface area, and good mediator for the electron 

transfer process (Karuwan et al., 2012; Karuwan et al., 

2013). In addition of graphene has a hexagonal 

structure with sp2 hybridization makes it a good 

material for electron transfer mediators. Graphene has 

been used in many electrochemical sensors such as for 

hydroquinone detection in the cosmetic sample 

(Duekhuntod et al., 2019) detection for 

carcinoembryonic antigen (Chan et al., 2015), and 

simultaneous detection of quercetin and rutin (Elinda 

et al., 2019). The use of graphene to quercetin and 

rutin simultaneously using modified SPCE showed 

better linearity, precision, the detection dan 

quantitation limit, and stability compared to 

commercial SPCE. In the development of a screen-

printed electrode, graphene (Karuwan et al., 2012; 

Karuwan et al., 2013), graphene oxide (Kudr et al., 

2020), single-walled carbon nanotube (Tortorich et 

al., 2014), or multi-walled carbon nanotube (Da Costa 

et al., 2015) also can be used as a carbon substitute in 

the working electrode. 

 

Substrate for SPCE fabrication  

The screen-printed electrode can be modified 

using different materials in order to adjust with 

various substrates. The good substrate for the 

fabrication of the screen-printed electrode should not 

give any current response when it is contacted with a 

sample solution due to avoiding any electrochemical 

reaction on the electrode surface. The surface tension 

effect, substrate hydrophilicity, and hydrophobicity 

also giving an influence for the electrochemical 

performance of SPCE (Du et al., 2016). In general, the 

substrate should have water-resistant properties to 

avoid any damage issues during the measurement. The 

rough surface of the substrate is preferred due to ease 

in the ink printing process and produced a good quality 

of screen-printed electrode. The substrates have been 

used to fabricate SPCE are ceramic (Taleat et al., 

2014), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film (Du et 

al., 2016), Whatman filter paper (Nontawong et al., 

2018), ink press transparent film [5], poly(ethylene 

2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) (Kudr et al., 2020), and 

polyimide (Lesch et al., 2014) and polyvinyl chloride

Khaled et al., 2008; Khaled et al., 2010; Promphet et 

al., 2015; Tirawattanakoson et al., 2016; Wahyuni et 

al., 2021). 

 

Combination of binder materials with solvent in 

SPCE fabrication  

The fluid properties such as density, viscosity, 

and surface tension are the prime parameters for ink 

selection (Cummins and Desmulliez, 2019). The 

quality of conductive ink for SPCE fabrication 

determines its performance in the electrochemical 

system. In order to obtain a good quality of electrode 

ink, binder substance to maintain conductive materials 

on the surface of the electrode. Therefore, it can 

improve the quality of the screen-printed electrode and 

thus obtaining a good response from the 

electrochemical measurement. Binder material for 

SPCE fabrication can be used from polystyrene 

(Petroni et al., 2017; Wahyuni et al., 2019), polyvinyl 

chloride (Khaled et al., 2008; Khaled et al., 2010), 

cellulose acetate (Wring and Hart, 1992; Miserere et 

al., 2006), PEDOT:PSS (Sriprachuabwong et al., 

2012), and polyaniline (Maity et al., 2019). The ohmic 

resistance and thickness of the printed electrode will 

increase with an increasing of binder concentration in 

the ink formula. In a certain case, it might result to 

produce a highly viscous ink. This will lead to the 

increasing of electrical resistance and resulted a 

diminished in the current signal.  

Besides binder materials, solvent also helps to 

preserve the ink consistency in the liquid form since 

its mixing until its application to the substrate surface. 

The process for solvent selection affected by 

conductive and binder materials, type of substrates 

and the screen-printed electrode fabrication 

techniques. The properties of solvents that suitable for 

screen printing technique is a solvent with moderate 

points of boiling temperature and optimum viscosity. 

These solvent properties will impact to a better ink

adhesion to the substrate and an efficient of ink drying 

process. Several organic solvents have been applied 

for SPCE fabrication such as dichloromethane 

(Petroni et al., 2017), cyclohexanone (Miserere et al., 

2006), cyclohexanone-acetone (Khaled et al., 2008; 

Khaled et al., 2010), chloroform (Wahyuni et al., 

2019), and diacetone hexanol (Tirawattanakoson et 

al., 2016). 

 

Fabrication Techniques of Screen-Printed Carbon 

Electrode  

Screen-printed carbon electrode combines 

working, reference, and counter electrodes in one 

design. This type of electrode provides a simple, 

portable, and disposable electrochemical 

measurement for sensing purposes. Since this 

electrode is disposable, the fabrication techniques 

should be able to facilitate fast mass production. 

Several fabrication techniques for SPCE fabrication 

were reported in scientific papers. Most of them are 

using printing techniques (inkjet printing and screen 

printing) on flat substrate and the other was a coating 

technique (Table 1). 

The screen-printing technique is a simple 

approach for SPCE fabrication. This technique is easy 

to follow by anyone without special expertise. In the 

screen-printing technique, three main components in 

SPCE fabrication including screen with electrode 

pattern, conductive ink, and squeegee like part for 

spread the ink. The screen is available in various pore 

sizes. The screen is selected based on the particle size 

of conductive material for ink composition. The pore 

size of screen material should bigger than the particle 

size of conductive material. Several papers reported 

the use of a screen with a pore size of 36 mesh (Khaled 

et al., 2008), 100 mesh (Wring and Hart, 1992), dan 

200 mesh (Bishop et al., 2016). 

Figure 2 shows the scheme of SPCE fabrication 

by a screen-printing technique. The steps are 1) Screen 

contains SPCE pattern is placed on top of the 

substrate, 2) The conductive ink is placed on top of the 

screen, 3) The ink is spread to all part of screen with 

constant pressure.  Step 3 is crucial to produce a 

homogeneous surface of SPCE from the screen-

printing fabrication process. Screen printing technique 

could be applied for SPCE fabrication both on flexible 

and rigid substrates. For instance, Kit-Anan and 

colleagues applied screen printing technique for SPCE 

fabrication on Whatman paper filter (Kit-Anan et al., 

2012) while develop fabrication of SPCE on PET 

substrate (Du et al., 216). As a comparison, 

fabrication of SPCE by inkjet printing technique 

offers more precise result. The technology of 

inkjet printing machine provides precise control 

on ink dispensing. 
Furthermore, the Inkjet printing technique 

consumes less ink compared to the screen printing 

technique. Several printer models are used in SPCE 

fabrication by inkjet printing technique, for instance 

Fujifilm Dimatix Materials Printer (Karuwan et al., 

2012; Kudr et al., 2020; Lesch et al., 2014; 

Sriprachuabwong et al., 2012; Cinti et al., 2018; Kit-

Anan et al., 2012), printer inkjet HP Deskjet 5650 

(Tortorich and Choi, 2012), HP Deskjet D4260 (Da 

Costa et al., 2015), Epson EcoTank ET-2650, Epson 

Stylus Photo 1500W (Rosati et al., 2019), and EPSON 

R230 (Cai et al., 2019). 

The pattern and scheme of SPCE fabrication by 

inkjet printing technique are illustrated in Figure 3. 

The electrode pattern was prepared by computer-aided 

design (CAD) and it was sent to the printer which able 

to print the object rapidly. Further, the ink was 

dispensed from the cartridge to the substrate through 

the nozzle (Moya et al., 2017). Several techniques 

such as piezoelectric (Wijshoff, 2010), thermal (Setti 

et al., 2005) dan electrodynamic (Ali et al., 2016) are 

used for ink dispense. The piezoelectric is preferred 

over other techniques due to its ability to control size 

and printing speed (Derby, 2010).

in 0.1 M KCl at glassy carbon and glassy carbon

method. 

 

Furthermore, the inkjet printing technique 

provides the automatic process that able to produce 

SPCE on a large scale in a short time. Both screen 

printing and inkjet printing techniques possess the 

advantages to fabricate a screen-printed electrode. 

Screen printing technique advantages are simple and 

able to produce planar electrode with high precision in 

huge number for short duration (Metter et al., 2011).

The disadvantage of this technique is unable to 

reach small corner of the mold, as the consequence the 

printing result looks smear. In contrast, fin inkjet 

printing fabrication conductive ink are dispense 

accurately with high precision. However, 

homogeneity of fabricated electrode surface is low due 

to the very thin coating. To handle this problem, 

replication in printing process are needed. Both screen 

printing and inkjet printing techniques in SPCE 

fabrication are applied for mass production of SPCE. 

Furthermore, some papers reported the combination of 

both techniques to obtain the desire properties of 

fabricated SPCE (Tortorich et al., 2014; Kudr et al., 

2020; Kit-Anan et al., 2012).  

Fabrication technique with coating techniques 

are performed by drop-coating and drop-casting 

technique. This technique is widely used to modify 

electrodes and enhance its electrochemical properties 

(Wahyuni et al., 2019; Maity et al., 2019; Wahyuni et 

al., 2020). Conductive ink deposited on top of 

electrode surface by dropping.  In some cases, 

masking technique is applied to obtain the specific 

pattern of coating.  In addition, drop coating method 

could be applied to check electrochemical properties 

of conductive materials. For instance, comparison of 

electrochemical performance of carbon nanoparticles, 

multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and graphite. 

Conductive ink from each material is drop coated on 

top of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Figure 4 shows 

the cyclic voltammogram of potassium 

hexacyanoferrate at GCE modified with each material. 

MWCNT modified GCE provides higher current 

compare to other materials, indicated that MWCNT 

having higher conductivity compared to other tested 

materials.  

 

CONCLUSION 

The success of SPCE fabrication is determined by 

several aspects, among others are the composition of 

conductive ink, substrate, and fabrication technique. 

Conductive material for ink composition should 

possess high conductivity property. Several carbon-

based materials are promising for SPCE fabrication, 

including graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. 

Other materials that significant for conductive ink 

properties are binder and solvent. Binder enhances the 

ink properties including viscosity, homogeneity, and 

ink adhesivity to the substrate while the solvent should 

be able to disperse the conductive material and binder 

in a homogeneous mixture. In addition, conductive ink

properties should be suitable with the substrate and 

fabrication technique. Based on the literature review, 

the most widely used SPCE fabrication techniques are 

screen printing and inkjet printing. Both printing 

technologies are capable to produce electrodes that 

match the specifications for electrochemical 

measurement and sensing.
