[New graphene nano-ribbons lend sensors unprecedented sensitivity | University Communications | 10/20/2017]
Pinning DNA-sized ribbons of carbon to a gas sensor can boost its sensitivity far better than any other known carbon material, says a new study from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The team developed a new form of nano-ribbon made from graphene, a 2-D honeycomb of carbon atoms. When the researchers integrated a film of the nano-ribbons into the circuitry of a gas sensor, it responded about 100 times more sensitively to molecules than did sensors featuring even the best-performing carbon-based materials.

Alexey Lipatov successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis “Layered Heterostructures Based on Two-Dimensional Materials: Interfacial Phenomena and Device Applications“. During his Ph.D. studies Alexey co-authored 12 papers, in seven of which he is the first author. The most important scientific contributions made by Alexey include the development of electronic-nose sensors based on graphene and graphene oxide, a series of studies on electronic devices comprising two-dimensional (2D) and ferroelectric materials, as well as the demonstration of electronic properties of an emerging 2D material, titanium trisulfide.
Congratulations, Dr. Lipatov!
