Nanomaterials and Devices group at Middle East Technical University focuses on the cost-effective and solution-based synthesis of nanomaterials for electronic devices. We believe that using nanomaterials in devices requires large-scale synthesis of these materials. Materials of interest include metal oxide thin films (i.e. NiO, MoO3, V2O5, VO2 and WO3), 2D materials (graphene, MXene, MoS2, TiS2, and h-BN), 1D materials (CNTs, Ag nanowires, and Cu nanowires). These nanomaterials are then used for the fabrication of devices. Devices of interest include but not limited to glucose sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators, supercapacitors, capacitive deionization systems, and electrochromics. Our aim is not simply device miniaturization using nanomaterials; but, rather the utilization of nanomaterials for unforeseen applications through the fabrication of novel devices with various form factors (textile integrated, flexible, stretchable, transparent, etc.). The performances of the fabricated devices are then determined systematically.
