Project description:
Novel hybrid nanogenerators (HNG) with biocompatible, flexible materials are gaining significant interest due to their high electrical output and broad applications in the electronic industry. The growing demand for environmentally friendly electronic materials that are easily fabricated and chemically tunable has motivated the research development of self-assembling peptide nanotubes.
The primary objectives of this project are:
to synthesize and characterize the self-assembling peptides microtubes and thin films;
to design and test the self-assembling peptide microstructures-based HNGs to explore their potential for sustainable energy harvesting and self-powered sensors;
to develop bio-sensors based on the influence of external impact (temperature, pH, solvent, etc.) on the performance of HNGs.
