Abstract
An apparatus and method, the apparatus including a charge carrier wherein the charge carrier includes a continuous three dimensional framework including a plurality of cavities throughout the framework; sensor material provided throughout the charge carrier; wherein the sensor material is configured to transduce a detected input and change conductivity of the charge carrier in dependence of the detected input.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a charge carrier, said charge carrier having a continuous three-dimensional framework with a plurality of cavities distributed throughout, said continuous three-dimensional framework including a plurality of layers of graphene, said continuous three-dimensional framework being formed from a foam of said plurality of layers of graphene, said plurality of cavities being located within said foam;
- and
- sensor material disposed at least within said cavities, the sensor material being capable of detecting an input from outside the charge carrier and of changing a conductivity of the charge carrier in response to the detected input, wherein the sensor material comprises quantum dots.
A method comprising:
- providing a charge carrier, said charge carrier having a continuous three-dimensional framework with a plurality of cavities distributed throughout, said continuous three-dimensional framework including a plurality of layers of graphene, said continuous three-dimensional framework being formed from a foam of said plurality of layers of graphene, said plurality of cavities being located within said foam;
- and
- disposing sensor material at least within said cavities, the sensor material being capable of detecting an input from outside the charge carrier and of changing a conductivity of the charge carrier in response to the detected input, wherein the sensor material comprises quantum dots.
