Graphene-Organic Devices for Smart DisplaysFunding source: Innovate UKStart: 01-04-2021 / End: 30-09-2023 Amount: £238,656 |
KiriTEG (Smart Grants)Funding source: Innovate UKStart: 01-08-2020 / End: 31-07-2022 Amount: £131,117 The KiriTEG project will develop flexible, miniaturised TEGs allowing the design of non-rigid thermoelectric energy harvester devices. This will be achieved by development of innovative semiconductor materials, materials deposition techniques and production processes to allow the commercial scaling of the project deliverables. This project utilises the skills of 'kirigami' (variant of origami that includes cutting as well as folding) to produce a new generation of low cost, highly flexible devices. These energy harvesting devices will operate between -40C and +120 C, which covers the vast majority of low grade harvesting applications. |

Replacing Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) with next-generation graphene in electronic devicesFunding source: Innovate UKStart: 01-01-2019 / End: 30-09-2020 Indium is expensive and is on the EU Critical Materials List. This project is to explore replacing Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) with next-generation graphene provided by the industrial partner Paragraf. |

Towards in-vivo electrochemical imaging with flexible, light-addressable electrodesFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 15-03-2018 / End: 14-03-2019 High-resolution mapping of chemical activity of cells on surfaces is important for the understanding biological processes. We are aiming to develop the first flexible and biocompatible electrochemical imaging chip for in-vivo imaging of cell activity. The groundwork for this will be laid by this PhD project by developing novel organic semiconductor coatings suitable for high-resolution photocurrent imaging and measurement of cell-signalling processes such as cell impedance, cell surface charges, release of metabolites and neurotransmitters. |
Other Research Projects
Towards in-vivo electrochemical imagingFlexible organic semiconductor-based chips can be used as light-addressable electrochemical sensors. This project will develop such chips. |
Halide perovskite thermoelectric materialsHybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have great promise as thermoelectric materials due to their exceptionally low thermal conductivities and high charge mobilities. This project will focus on characterising a range of these materials prepared by vapour deposition or from solution. |
