| Abstract Scope |
Functional nanomaterials with intrinsically new and tailored properties are key elements for developing of eco-friendly devises such as next generation solar cells, chemical/biological sensors, optoelectronic devices, etc. Recent progress of novel devices designs has led to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of functional nanomaterials. For example, perovskite solar cells have attracted a lot of attention thanks to their high efficiency, low cost, and ease fabrication using solution techniques. Development of chemical and biological sensors for selectively simultaneously detecting multiple components in real time still remain a major challenge at the nanotechnology frontier of healthcare. In this talk, functional nanomaterials and composites based on metal oxide and graphene will be lectured for the development of high performance perovskite solar cells and chemical/biological sensors for simultaneously detecting multi-components. Especially, to solve the instability problems of PSCs related to materials, functional nanocomposites such as Ag-graphene, perovskite/Ag-graphene, NiO-carbon-graphite, Al2O3/graphene, perovskite-NiO, perovskite/Sn-graphene and N-doped graphene have been developed, resulting in remarkable thermal- and photo-stability but also long-term stability. Multi-component detection sensors based on field-effect transistors were also developed to detect glucose, cholesterol, and urea in a drop of blood and to detect multiple ions in a nutrient solution needed for crop production in smart farms. |
