Exploring Organic Electrochemical Transistors
Project Description
This project provides an hands-on experience in measuring and characterizing organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), designed for students with no prior research background. Participants will learn fundamental concepts of transistor operation and basic electrochemistry, including ionic conduction and redox reactions. Key techniques such as current-voltage (I-V) measurements and device performance testing will be covered, offering practical skills in a lab setting. By the end of the project, students will gain a foundational understanding of OECTs and their applications in flexible electronics and biosensors, making it ideal for those interested in chemical engineering, bioengineering, electronics, or materials science.
