We are a research group specializing in gas-sensing technologies through printed electronics.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose a significant environmental and occupational health concern, necessitating reliable, cost-effective detection solutions across various applications, including indoor air quality monitoring, industrial process control, medical diagnostics, and safety systems. Current commercial VOC sensors often suffer from limited selectivity, cross-sensitivity, high power consumption, or require frequent recalibration, which limits their practical deployment.
We address this by combining metal oxides with porous materials to createheterojunctions with engineered interfacesfor enhanced VOC detection. This approach bridgesthin-film precision, scalable printing, and advanced characterization.
Description. We are depositing thin films of metal oxides using sputtering systems and solution-based methods, with precise control of the oxygen stoichiometry to develop phase-transition materials. These metal oxide layers are integrated with complementary porous materials to form heterojunctions for device applications. This is fundamental research aimed at practical applications in gas sensing of VOCs. The project focuses on the deposition of metal oxide thin films using sputtering and printing techniques, followed by comprehensive characterization of the materials.
This is a Master's or Bachelor's thesis project with the possibility of a student assistant (HiWi) position.
