Summary
Engineering twisted two-dimensional materials for mid-infrared detectors. This project aims to engineer twisted two-dimensional materials and develop efficient room-temperature mid-infrared detectors that sense both the intensity and polarisation of light. This project expects to generate a cost-effective, ultra-compact, and multifunctional mid-infrared optical platform with high energy conversion efficiency towards advanced sensing and imaging systems. The anticipated goal of this project is to ....Engineering twisted two-dimensional materials for mid-infrared detectors. This project aims to engineer twisted two-dimensional materials and develop efficient room-temperature mid-infrared detectors that sense both the intensity and polarisation of light. This project expects to generate a cost-effective, ultra-compact, and multifunctional mid-infrared optical platform with high energy conversion efficiency towards advanced sensing and imaging systems. The anticipated goal of this project is to deliver high value-added devices with reduced energy consumption for the electronics and photonics industries. This should provide significant economic and environmental benefits by realising technological innovations, savings in materials and energy costs, and reduced environmental impact in advanced manufacturing.Read moreRead less

Summary
Nanodroplet platforms for engineering novel nanocarbon structures. This project aims to exploit surface nanodroplet array platforms to construct multi-scale level assembly of nanometer-scale carbon materials. The project expects to advance knowledge on the interactions between droplets and carbon nanomaterials to enable controlled construction of nanocarbon based optoelectric devices. Successful adoption of nanocarbon material-based optoelectronic devices by the energy conversion industry has th ....Nanodroplet platforms for engineering novel nanocarbon structures. This project aims to exploit surface nanodroplet array platforms to construct multi-scale level assembly of nanometer-scale carbon materials. The project expects to advance knowledge on the interactions between droplets and carbon nanomaterials to enable controlled construction of nanocarbon based optoelectric devices. Successful adoption of nanocarbon material-based optoelectronic devices by the energy conversion industry has the potential to increase efficiency of conversion and reduce the cost of manufacture. The expected outcomes are large scale and well-ordered nanocarbon structures with excellent electronic and optical properties.Read moreRead less
Next generation easy-clean lenses by robust liquid-repellent nanotextures. This project aims to produce better performing self-cleaning lenses, which are less likely to get dirty and are easy to clean. It will develop water and oil repellent coatings with superior optical transparency and mechanical, solvent and UV stability for both hard coated and anti-reflection coated optical lenses. Engineering of stable, ultra-liquid repellent nanomaterials on transparent surfaces will create a foundation ....Next generation easy-clean lenses by robust liquid-repellent nanotextures.
