LANAFUSEHA

Energy-harvesting technologies supply electricity to low-power devices so they can operate continuously without the need for batteries. Such sensor devices are critical for environmental and industrial monitoring, safety and many medical applications. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the LANAFUSEHA project aims to advance 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides by endowing them with novel functionalities for improved energy-harvesting and sensing applications. It proposes to exploit the nanometre precision of a photonic nanojet to functionalise 2D materials by laser. The proposed technique entails scalable technology with low technological risk and commercial viability, enabling the creation of new devices and materials for use in a wide range of industries.
