Prof. Wenzhuo Wu, Purdue University, USA
Tellurene Electronics and Beyond
Wenzhuo Wu is a Professor in the School of Industrial Engineering and a University Faculty Scholar at Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology in Materials Science and Engineering. Dr. Wu’s research interests include designing, manufacturing, and integrating nanomaterials for applications in wearable sensors, clean energy, and nanoelectronics. He was a recipient of many awards, including being an elected Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and a Fellow of Royal Society of Arts (FRSA). In his presentation, Wu discusses progress in the scalable nanomanufacturing of tellurene, an emerging 2D p-type material pioneered for high-performance device applications. Results show that the air-stable tellurene exhibits a plethora of intriguing properties that appeal to applications in electronics, optoelectronics, quantum devices, and wearable sensors. These advances demonstrate the potential of 2D tellurene in future electronics and beyond!
