Incheon National University Develops Biodegradable Sensors for Air Pollution Detection
SEMICONDUCTOR
Researchers at Incheon National University in South Korea have developed biodegradable sensors that detect nitrogen dioxide, a harmful air pollutant. These sensors dissolve harmlessly after use, addressing both air quality and electronic waste issues.
Using Organic Field-Effect Transistors and a combination of P3HT and PBS materials, the sensors maintain high performance while being eco-friendly. This innovation has potential applications in wearable technology and promotes a shift towards sustainable electronics.
