Elsevier Graphene Based Biomolecular Electronic Devices (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Graphene Based Biomolecular Electronic Devices outlines the fundamental concepts related to graphene and electronics, along with a description of various advanced and budding applications of graphene-based bioelectronics. The book includes coverage of biosensors, energy storage devices such as biofuel cells, stretchable and flexible electronics and 3D printed graphene in bioelectronics. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it explores the synergy produced due to charge transfer between biomolecules and graphene. This helps the reader understand the promising bioelectronic applications of graphene-based devices. Graphene has promising applications in semiconductor electronics, replacing the use of traditional silicon-based devices due to its semi-metallic nature and tunable energy band gap properties. The tuning of electron transfer with redox properties of biomolecules could potentially lead to the development of miniaturized bioelectronic devices. Thus, graphene, with its unique sensing characteristics, has emerged as an attractive material for the production of biomolecular electronic devices.
