Nanomanufacturing Processes for High-Performance and Multifunctional Sensors and Energy Storage Devices
Scaling up the fabrication of nano, micro, and macroscopic devices and systems with low-dimensional nanomaterials allows for high-performance and multifunctional devices in a broad range of applications. Our group investigates nanomanufacturing processes, such as template-guided fluidic assembly, direct printing transfer, and device integration techniques to fabricate 1-3D dimensional nano/microarchitectures of extreme nanocarbon and silicon nanostructures on various substrates, including Si, SiO2, metals, polymers, and nano/micro-patterned flexible polymer surfaces. Using these unprecedented nanostructured architectures, our group is also studying and developing high-performance and ultra-low-power radiation, ion, and chemical sensors, light-emitting devices, photo-detectors, flexible electrical interconnects, and flexible and transparent energy storage devices.
