University of Dayton researchers are testing the viability of flexible solar cells and biosensors using a new method for producing electronic devices on a flexible surface. The solar cells could be used in wearable solar technology. The molecular sensors could be used to monitor human performance, detect explosives and prevent foodborne illnesses. Dr. Christopher Muratore has demonstrated the new method for fabrication of electronic devices using a quick, smaller-scale manufacturing process that uses 2D chalcogenide materials deposited on flexible substrates. He is working with Dr. Jay Mathews to extend the range of optoelectronic devices, including flexible solar cells for power generation and metamaterial devices for molecular sensing using THz radiation.
This research is supported by the University of Dayton STEM Catalyst Initiative.
