Research Projects

This project focuses on developing novel 2D materials to create high-power flexible micro-supercapacitors. The project includes micropatterning of flexible substrates and fabricating high-power micro-storage devices based on these materials. The goal is to find a cost-effective way to power these devices, as the rigidness of batteries is a major limitation. This project aims to advance the development of flexible and durable high-power micro-supercapacitors with the potential of energy storage devices. The project aims to develop three main objectives: novel materials development, development of various flexible substrates with different micro-features and sizes, device development, and advanced physics-based modeling to understand device failure mechanisms. This will improve the performance of the fabricated devices. One key concept for the rapid development of flexible electronic devices is to have a lightweight and flexible power device that can be easily integrated into the circuit. This feature ensures that the device can operate autonomously for many years without burdening the user with managing batteries. The project aims to provide technological innovation by directly integrating the fabricated micro-supercapacitor with the flexible electronic device industry. By creating high-power micro-storage devices, the project aims to solve a key technological challenge in the flexible electronic industry.
