Flexible energy harvesting devices fabricated in scalable thin-film processes are important components in the field of wearable electronics and the Internet of Things. We present a flexible rectenna based on a one-dimensional junction metal-insulator-graphene diode, which offers low-noise power detection at terahertz (THz) frequencies. The rectennas are fabricated on a flexible polyimide film in a scalable process by photolithography using graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition. A one-dimensional junction area reduces the junction capacitance and enables operation in the D-band (110 - 170 GHz). The rectenna on polyimide shows a maximum voltage responsivity of 80 V/W at 167 GHz in free space measurements and minimum noise equivalent power of 80 pW/$sqrt{text{Hz}}$.

We demonstrate a novel concept for operating graphene-based Hall sensors using an alternating current (AC) modulated gate voltage, which provides three important advantages compared to Hall sensors under static operation: 1) The sensor sensitivity ca n be doubled by utilizing both n- and p-type conductance. 2) A static magnetic field can be read out at frequencies in the kHz range, where the 1/f noise is lower compared to the static case. 3) The off-set voltage in the Hall signal can be reduced. This significantly increases the signal-to-noise ratio compared to Hall sensors without a gate electrode. A minimal detectable magnetic field Bmin down to 290 nT/sqrt(Hz) and sensitivity up to 0.55 V/VT was found for Hall sensors fabricated on flexible foil. This clearly outperforms state-of-the-art flexible Hall sensors and is comparable to the values obtained by the best rigid III/V semiconductor Hall sensors.
Flexible metal oxide/graphene oxide hybrid multi-gate neuron transistors were fabricated on flexible graphene substrates. Dendritic integrations in both spatial and temporal modes were successfully emulated, and spatiotemporal correlated logics were obtained. A proof-of-principle visual system model for emulating lobula giant motion detector neuron was investigated. Our results are of great interest for flexible neuromorphic cognitive systems.
Vertical metal-insulator-graphene (MIG) diodes for radio frequency (RF) power detection are realized using a scalable approach based on graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and TiO2 as barrier material. The temperature dependent current flow t hrough the diode can be described by thermionic emission theory taking into account a bias induced barrier lowering at the graphene TiO2 interface. The diodes show excellent figures of merit for static operation, including high on-current density of up to 28 A/cm^2, high asymmetry of up to 520, strong maximum nonlinearity of up to 15, and large maximum responsivity of up to 26 V^{-1}, outperforming state-of-the-art metal-insulator-metal and MIG diodes. RF power detection based on MIG diodes is demonstrated, showing a responsivity of 2.8 V/W at 2.4 GHz and 1.1 V/W at 49.4 GHz.
Highly flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding material with excellent shielding performance is of great significance to practical applications in next-generation flexible devices. However, most EMI materials suffer from insufficient fl exibility and complicated preparation methods. In this study, we propose a new scheme to fabricate a magnetic Ni particle/Ag matrix composite ultrathin film on a paper surface. For a ~2 micro meter thick film on paper, the EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) was found to be 46.2 dB at 8.1 GHz after bending 200,000 times over a radius of ~2 mm. The sheet resistance (Rsq) remained lower than 2.30 Ohm after bending 200,000 times. Contrary to the change in Rsq, the EMI SE of the film generally increased as the weight ratio of Ag to Ni increased, in accordance with the principle that EMI SE is positively related with an increase in electrical conductivity. Desirable EMI shielding ability, ultrahigh flexibility, and simple processing provide this material with excellent application prospects.

We have fabricated resonant terahertz metamaterials on free standing polyimide substrates. The low-loss polyimide substrates can be as thin as 5.5 micron yielding robust large-area metamaterials which are easily wrapped into cylinders with a radius o f a few millimeters. Our results provide a path forward for creating multi-layer non-planar metamaterials at terahertz frequencies.
