Description

Ultrathin Gold Nanocrystal Conductors for Wearable Epidermal Biofuel Cells. This project aims to fabricate ultrathin, soft yet stretchable gold nanocrystal conductors to push the thickness limit of next-generation soft bioelectrodes for fabrication of wearable epidermal biofuel cells. This will generate new knowledge and patentable technologies related to design/fabrication of soft nanocrystal conductors, bioanode and biocathode, which require to be thin, soft, conductive and biocompatible. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced national capacity in disruptive wearable bioelectronics, strengthening international collaborations, unskilled workforce training, as well as advancement of Australian knowledge base in the fields of nanotechnology, materials science, energy, biosensors and bioelectronics.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4018 - Nanotechnology. Lead: Prof Wenlong Cheng
