Stanford researchers have developed a depletion-mode MOSFET-based phototransistor with sub-wavelength dimensions, extremely high responsivity and a low dark current.
This patented technology is an Integrated Capacitance Bridge (ICB) that can perform ultra-high-resolution (aF), wide-temperature-range measurements of capacitance in nano-structures.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have combined graphene with metals and other inorganic elements to create a variety of hybrid materials that can be used for high performance electrocatalytic or electrochemical devices such as batteries and fuel cells.
A multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed a new class of tunable, zinc-based sorbents that use catalytic carbonate chemistry to efficiently capture carbon in the presence of water vapor.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have developed nanocarbon/inorganic nanoparticle hybrid materials for various electrocatalytic and electrochemical applications, such as batteries and fuel cells. Three types of hybrid materials have been created:
