Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and methods for tuning the structure, conductivity, and/or wettability of laser induced graphene for a variety of functions including but not limited to multiplexed open microfluidic environmental biosensing and energy storage devices. Aspects of this invention introduce a one-step, mask-free process to create, pattern, and tune laser-induced graphene (LIG) with a ubiquitous CO2 laser or other laser. The laser parameters are adjusted to create LIG with different electrical conductivity, surface morphology, and surface wettability without the need for post chemical modification. This can be done with a single lasing. By optionally introducing a second (or third, fourth, or more) lasing(s), the LIG characteristics can be changed in just the same one step of using the laser scribing without other machines or sub-systems. One example is a second lasing with the same laser sub-system at low laser power, wherein the wettability of the LIG can be significantly altered. Such films presented unique superhydrophobicity owing to the combination of the micro/nanotextured structure and the removal of the hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups. The ability to tune the wettability of LIG while retaining high electrical conductivity and mechanical robustness allows rational design of LIG based on application.

Abstract

Apparatus and methods of fabrication and use of a highly sensitive and label-free laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrode (10) functionalized with biorecognition agents (e.g. antibodies) (18) to electrochemically quantify a target species (e.g. foodborne pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium). In one example, the LIG electrodes are produced by laser induction on polyimide film (12) in ambient conditions, and circumvent need for high-temperature, vacuum environment, and metal seed catalysts commonly associated with graphene-based electrodes fabricated via chemical vapor deposition processes. After functionalization, the LIG biosensors detect a target species across a wide linear range with a low detection limit, and quick response time without need for sample pre-concentration or redox labeling. These LIG immunosensors displayed high selectivity by non-significant response to other bacteria strains, and demonstrate LIG-based electrodes can be used for electrochemical biosensing and immunosensing. One example for rapid, low-cost pathogen detection in food processing facilities before contaminated foods reach the consumer.

Abstract

Methods and systems of fabrication of high resolution, high-throughput electrochemical sensing circuits on a substrate. High resolution electrochemical sensing circuits are printed by an effective additive technique to the substrate. Optionally, post-print annealing converts electrochemically inactive printed graphene into one that is electrochemically active. The printing can be by aerosol jet printing, but is not necessarily limited thereto. An example is inkjet printing and then the post-print annealing. Ink formulation would be adjusted for effectiveness with inkjet printing. Optionally biorecognition agents can be covalently bonded to the printed graphene for the purpose of electrochemical biosensing. High throughput fabrication of high-resolution graphene circuits (feature sizes in the tens of microns < 50 µm) for electrochemical biosensing is possible by chemical functionalization of the graphene surface with a biological agent.

Abstract

Disclosed are embodiments of a thin-film photovoltaic technology including a single-junction crystalline silicon solar cell with a photonic-plasmonic back-reflector structure for lightweight, flexible energy conversion applications. The back-reflector enables high absorption for long-wavelength and near-infrared photons via diffraction and light-concentration. The thin-film crystalline silicon solar cell is implemented in a heterojunction design with amorphous silicon, where plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used for all device layers, including a low-temperature crystalline silicon deposition step. Excimer laser crystallization is used to integrate crystalline and amorphous silicon within a monolithic process, where a thin layer of amorphous silicon is converted to a crystalline silicon seed layer prior to deposition of a crystalline silicon absorber layer via PECVD. The crystalline nature of the absorber layer and the back-reflector enable efficiencies higher than what is achievable in other thin-film silicon devices.

Abstract

Vanillin and vanillyl alcohol were modified into methacrylated derivatives. The structures of vanillin-based monomers were characterized by NMR and FTIR.

The effects of structure and functionality of the vanillin-based monomers on the thermo-mechanical properties of the resulting polymers were investigated and discussed. Polymers from methacrylated vanillyl alcohol (MVA) demonstrated greater storage moduli, higher glass transition temperatures, and thermal resistance than those from methacrylated vanillin (MV) because of the different functionalities of their monomers.
