Article Abstract

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has gained significant attention due to its efficient and rapid production, and ability to create patterned electrodes. However, the operating voltage of LIG supercapacitor (LIG SC) unit devices is relatively low, and the different patterning LIG SC devices show different performances. Additionally, the size of the laser power also has a significant impact on the performance of the device. Herein, the energy storage performance of LIG SC devices in a variety of patterns and at different laser powers is investigated. The LIG SC device based on the interdigital pattern shows the best performance compared with the spiral pattern, mirror circular pattern, and concentric circular pattern LIG devices. When the laser power is 2.75 W, the area-specific capacitance of the interdigital LIG SCs is up to 10.78 mF cm at 0.2 mA cm , with a wide operating voltage (1.8 V) and a maximum energy density of 4.85 μWh cm . Additionally, it maintained 84.1% of its capacitance after 8000 charge-discharge cycles and achieved an area-specific capacitance of 8.33 mF cm when bent at an angle of 60°. This digital interpattern LIG device etched by a laser power of 2.75 W can provide important insights into the development of planar flexible supercapacitors.

Real-time, multiplexed monitoring of wound infection biomarkers is essential for early detection of infection and inflammation, as well as for evaluating wound healing progression. However, existing biosensing technologies lack the sensitivity, specificity, and integration needed to meet these clinical demands. To address current limitations in wound monitoring, we developed a portable and multimodal sensor system capable of simultaneously detecting uric acid (UA), phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and pH.

Wood-based substrates-known for their renewability, abundance, and surface functionalization potential-have recently gained attention as polymers for laser-induced graphene (LIG) synthesis because of their environmentally friendly attributes. These environment-friendly properties also make them pollution-free and easy to dispose of after use. However, the formation of LIG on wood substrates lacks robust theoretical support, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which are a potential theoretical framework, are time-consuming and computationally intensive.

Nonlinear photocurrents (NPs) are electrical currents expected to be measured at the electrodes of a device consisting of an active area, sensitive to light, with a higher-order in-electric field where light-impinging geometry (LIG) is the determining factor in the experimental observation. Although the phenomenology of this light-matter interaction is clear for light directed on a lateral device plane with well-defined azimuthal and incidence angles, as well as light polarization angle, it can be quite complicated for a vertical device structure and reconsideration of the expected NP contributions is necessary in the latter case. In this study, we used a visual approach to describe the LIG for vertical device structures using a specific example of a photodiode, and showed that these angles must be redefined, namely, the interchangeability of azimuthal and incidence angles.

Encapsulated graphene plays a key role in enabling stable and functional operation of next-generation electronic and sensing devices. However, establishing electrical contact with encapsulated graphene remains a significant challenge because of the need for separate etching and metal deposition steps, which require complex multistep fabrication processes. This paper introduces a scalable one-step method for forming electrical contacts with encapsulated graphene using CO laser scribing.
