    Abstract

    Graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials can be used to create electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, their development has been limited by the lack of effective large-area transfer processes. Here we report a transfer method that uses functional tapes with adhesive forces controlled by ultraviolet light. The adhesion of the tape is optimized for the transfer of monolayer graphene, providing a yield of over 99%. Once detached from the growth substrate, the graphene/tape stack enables easy transfer of graphene to the desired target substrate. The method can be used to transfer other 2D materials, including bilayer graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride and stacked heterostructures. The solvent-free nature of the final release step facilitates transfer to various target substrates including flexible polymers, paper and three-dimensional surfaces. The tape/2D material stacks can also be cut into desired sizes and shapes, allowing site-selective device fabrication with reduced loss of 2D materials.

    Abstract

    Flexible imagers are currently under intensive development as versatile optical sensor arrays, designed to capture images of surfaces and internals, irrespective of their shape. A significant challenge in developing flexible imagers is extending their detection capabilities to encompass a broad spectrum of infrared light, particularly terahertz (THz) light at room temperature. This advancement is crucial for thermal and biochemical applications. In this study, a flexible infrared imager is designed using uncooled carbon nanotube (CNT) sensors and organic circuits. The CNT sensors, fabricated on ultrathin 2.4 µm substrates, demonstrate enhanced sensitivity across a wide infrared range, spanning from near‐infrared to THz wavelengths. Moreover, they retain their characteristics under bending and crumpling. The design incorporates light‐shielded organic transistors and circuits, functioning reliably under light irradiation, and amplifies THz detection signals by a factor of 10. The integration of both CNT sensors and shielded organic transistors into an 8 × 8 active‐sensor matrix within the imager enables sequential infrared imaging and nondestructive assessment for heat sources and in‐liquid chemicals through wireless communication systems. The proposed imager, offering unique functionality, shows promise for applications in biochemical analysis and soft robotics.

    Abstract

    While millimeter‐wave (MMW)–infrared (IR) broad photo‐imaging exhibits significant potential as an inspection technique, photo‐thermoelectric (PTE) detector operations employing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are highly suitable because of their efficient absorption characteristics in the above bands. Such an imaging device design and the associated material coordination allow the aggregation of multiple wavelength‐specific optical information for the constituent identification of target objects in a non‐destructive manner with high sensitivity. On the other side, computer vision techniques facilitate 3D structure reconstruction as approaches from inspection methodologies, in addition to the aforementioned imaging device design. Although non‐destructive inspections require collectively satisfying both constituent identification and structural reconstruction, investigations combining MMW–IR broad photo imaging and computer vision monitoring are still insufficient. This work demonstrates computer vision‐driven simple 3D composite multi‐layer reconstructions via non‐destructive broadband multiple‐wavelength monitoring with the CNT film PTE imager. Visual hull evaluation, which is one of the representative computer vision techniques, converts 2D transmissive PTE images with different viewpoints into 3D reconstruction models. The subsequential graphical superposition of these wavelength‐specific models results in non‐destructive entire reconstructions of 3D composite multi‐layer target objects. Therefore, the present computer vision‐driven PTE broadband 3D reconstruction bridges the gap between methodologies and device design strategies toward non‐destructive inspection applications.

    Abstract

    The integration of flexible electronics with optics can help realize a powerful tool that facilitates the creation of a smart society wherein internal evaluations can be easily performed nondestructively from the surface of various objects that is used or encountered in daily lives. Here, organic‐material‐based stretchable optical sensors and imagers that possess both bending capability and rubber‐like elasticity are reviewed. The latest trends in nondestructive evaluation equipment that enable simple on‐site evaluations of health conditions and abnormalities are discussed without subjecting the targeted living bodies and various objects to mechanical stress. Real‐time performance under real‐life conditions is becoming increasingly important for creating smart societies interwoven with optical technologies. In particular, the terahertz (THz)‐wave region offers a substance‐ and state‐specific fingerprint spectrum that enables instantaneous analyses. However, to make THz sensors accessible, the following issues must be addressed: broadband and high‐sensitivity at room temperature, stretchability to follow the surface movements of targets, and digital transformation compatibility. The materials, electronics packaging, and remote imaging systems used to overcome these issues are discussed in detail. Ultimately, stretchable optical sensors and imagers with highly sensitive and broadband THz sensors can facilitate the multifaceted on‐site evaluation of solids, liquids, and gases.

    The photo-thermoelectric (PTE) effect in electronic materials effectively combines photo-absorption-induced local heating and associated thermoelectric conversion for uncooled and broadband photo-detection. In particular, this work comprehensively summarizes the operating mechanism of carbon nanotube (CNT)-film-based PTE sensors and ubiquitous non-destructive inspections realized by exploiting the material properties of CNT films. Formation of heterogeneous material junctions across the CNT-film-based PTE sensors, namely photo-detection interfaces, triggers the Seebeck effect with photo-absorption-induced local heating. Typical photo-detection interfaces include a channel–electrode boundary and a junction between P-type CNTs and N-type CNTs (PN junctions). While the original CNT film channel exhibits positive Seebeck coefficient values, the material selections of the counterpart freely govern the intensity and polarity of the PTE response signals. Based on these operating mechanisms, CNT film PTE sensors demonstrate a variety of physical and chemical non-destructive inspections. The device aggregates broad multi-spectral optical information regarding the targets and reconstructs their inner composite or layered structures. Arbitrary deformations of the device are attributed to the macroscopic flexibility of the CNT films to further monitor targets from omni-directional viewing angles without blind spots. Detection of blackbody radiation from targets using the device also visualizes their behaviors and associated changes.

    Chemical monitoring communicates diverse environmental information from industrial and biological processes. However, promising and sustainable systems and associated inspection devices that dynamically enable on-site quality monitoring of target chemicals confined inside transformable and opaque channels are yet to be investigated. This paper designs stretchable photo-sensor patch sheets for nonsampling, source-free, and label-free on-site dynamic chemical monitoring of liquids flowing inside soft tubes via simple deformable surface wrapping. The device integrates carbon nanotube–based broadband photo-absorbent thin films with multilayer-laminated stretchable electrodes and substrates. The patterned rigid-soft structure of the proposed device provides durability and optical stability against mechanical deformations with a stretchability range of 70 to 280%, enabling shape-conformable attachments to transformable objects. The effective use of omnidirectional and transparent blackbody radiation from free-form targets themselves allows compact measurement configuration and enhances the functionality and simplicity of this scheme, while the presenting technology monitors concentrations of arbitrary water-soluble chemicals.

    Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) has the potential to realize flexible and light large-area electronics by integrating the benefits of traditional semiconductor processing. In addition, printable electronics is expected to lead to resource and energy savings. In this study, we have developed stretchable printed circuit boards, with excellent ductility, on which light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and light sensors were mounted to fabricate sheet-type arrays. The technology developed herein for light-sensing systems based on light sources and detectors is expected to be used as a nondestructive method to inspect objects with arbitrary surfaces.
