Dear Anming, printable electronics is divided into three- metal and conductive polymers where carbon/graphite paste is in between. in RF-ID they use thin Cu or Al metal deposition or PEDOT as ink. since high currents create heat your application will determined the material choice.

Anming Hu

Al is not proper due to oxidization. The heat is not problem. I need a chemical inert while well electrically conducting material as electrode

R.M. Miranda

Pt or Pd

Rosa,

Thanks. Pd is a good choice. Its price is like silver. But Pt is bad, more expensive than Au.

Anming

I know, Rd is another good one but expensive...I would bet for Pd
