Abstract:

Over the past two decades, researches on low-dimensional carbon nanostructured materials (SWCNT and graphene) designed for a variety of sensor applications have made remarkable progress. However scalable fabrication and engineering of high performance sensors that harness 2-3 dimensional nano/micro architectures of these nanomaterials have remained largely elusive. Such methodologies will allow unprecedented device architectures fully utilizing superior physical and chemical properties of these nanomaterials for high performance and low SWaP sensors. Here we present some of our progresses in assembly and engineering of single-walled nanotube networks and building 2-3D architectures for broad ranges of high performance chemical, optical and ion sensors by combining state-of-the-art assembly and transfer based nanomanufacturing strategies developed in our laboratory.
