Monitoring state of charge and volume expansion in lithium-ion batteries: an approach using surface mounted thin-film graphene sensors, RSC Advances 13 (2023) 7045.

A new surface-mounted graphene sensor enables simple and rapid monitoring of lithium-ion battery state of charge and state of health. The sensor is used without interrupting the cell operation, enabling accurate monitoring for safe and effective rechargeable battery systems as those used in electric vehicles.

Graphene‑based strain sensing in composites for structural and health monitoring applications, SN Applied Sciences 4 (2022) 58.

In this article we present a graphene-based sensor that evaluates the strain generated within a composite material. A finite element model was developed to investigate the mechanism driving the graphene to act as a strain sensor. The graphene sensor proved to be able to evaluate strain at various levels providing a gauge factor higher than commercially available strain gauges.

Effects of ambient humidity on the optimum annealing time of mixed-halide Perovskite solar cells, Nanotechnology 28 (2017) 114004.

This study reports that, similar to the effects of thermal annealing, ambient humidity also affects the crystallisation behaviour and subsequent growth of the perovskite films. In this work, we report for the first time the correlation between the annealing time, relative humidity, and device performance for inverted, mixed halide CH3NH3PbI(3−x)Clx perovskite solar cells with active area ≈1 cm2.

A Comparative Study on the Conductive Properties of Coated and Printed Silver Layers on a Paper Substrate, Journal of Electronic Materials, 44 (2014) 497.

The industrial sector of flexible printed electronics has shown a dynamic growth in the last decades. Therefore, demand for new inks, coatings and printing methods leading to improved performances of the electronic components at room temperature is also increasing. Here, we present a study on the conductive properties of silver layers obtained by different coating and printing methods.
