ZnO nanoparticle characterization for application in functional devices

Dr. Simas Rackauskas

The project successfully initiated a collaborative effort to research ZnO nanomaterials for their application in functional composites targeting sensors, memristive switching, and neuromorphic engineering. High-yield synthesis methods for ZnO nanomaterials, including nanowires and nanoparticles, were explored for network assembly. The prepared ZnO nanocomposites were tested for their electrical and electro-optical properties, providing insights into their suitability for fast-response sensing and neuromorphic computing applications. The outcomes form a solid foundation for ongoing cooperation, with prospects for joint publications and further project development.

Dr. S. Rackauskas will give an open to general public (everybody interested) seminar „ZnO nanowire networks: synthesis, properties and functionalization“ at the group seminar of the Chair for Multicomponent Materials at the Department of Materials Science, Kiel University, on 30.10.2024, time: 11:00-12:00.
