Fabrication of Vertically Aligned 1D Metal Oxide Nanostructures and Their Gas Sensing Properties

The vertically aligned 1D metal oxide nanostructures can be fabricated by a glancing angle deposition method using an e-beam evaporator. Their extremely high surface-to-volume ratio results in a promising gas sensing performance. My research focuses on a two-step glancing angle deposition method to form heterojunctions between two different metal oxides and investigating their gas sensing properties.

Laser-assisted Fabrication of Metal Oxide Nanostructures and Their Gas Sensing Properties

The laser irradiation can be a powerful tool to either pattern the substrate or modify existing metal oxide nanostructures. Both approaches can lead to the fabrication of unique metal oxide nanostructures which can maximized the exposed surface area or achieve effective light absorption characteristics. My research focuses on the design and fabrication of such nanostructures and investigating their gas sensing properties.

Skin Electronics Based on Remote Epitaxial Freestanding Inorganic Membrane

The remote epitaxial freestanding inorganic film can overcome current obstacles in the fabrication procedures of flexible electronics which cannot withstand extremely high temperatures where high-quality single crystalline functional films can be grown. The separately grown high-quality inorganic thin film can be exfoliated, transferred, and bonded to the desired flexible substrate to realize unprecedented device performance on the flexible form factor. My research focuses on the fabrication of skin electronic devices based on single-crystalline freestanding inorganic films.
