Integrated organic opto-bioelectronics sensors

We are now in Polytechnique Montreal studying organic electrochemical transistors (OECT), which can be used to detect the analyte ion concentration in the liquid environment. The nature of an OECT is to convert ion concentration signal to electron signal. In this short-term cooperation, we aim to integrate OECT with an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), so that the obtained electrical signal by OECT can be further converted to photon signal. This renders it possible to convert ion signal directly to photon signal. Since both OECT and OLED are flexible, printable and wearable, so, this project may pave the way to bioactive, flexible and printable organic light emission sensors.
