2D Materials for Wearable Sensors

Watch a physics nanoseminar exploring the applications of two-dimensional materials in wearable sensor technology, featuring Prof. Georg S. Duesberg from the Universität of the Bundeswehr Munich. Discover the potential of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in future electronics and sensing applications, with detailed discussions on chemiresistive gas- and bio-sensors. Learn about the challenges in functionalizing these materials, including issues with polymeric residues and TOF-SIMS investigations. Explore the thickness-dependent properties of group 10 TMDs and Nobel Metal Dichalcogenides (NMDs), including their applications in NEMS, optoelectronic devices, and chemical sensors. Examine the catalyst-free synthesis of polycrystalline TMDs, particularly PtSe2, and their integration with silicon technology. Understand various characterization techniques like Raman spectroscopy, SPM, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, while exploring real-world applications in chemical sensors, IR-photodetectors, and MEMS devices. Includes an introductory talk on heat capacity measurement in transition metal dichalcogenides by doctoral student Hugo Gómez Torres.
