Announcing the Final Examination of Md Golam Kaium for the degree of Master of Science
The concept of transient electronics emerged to minimize E-waste. Ideal transient electronics operate equivalent to conventional electronics, and the entire device disintegrates after a stable operation period. The discovery of graphene opened a new realm of two-dimensional(2D) material science. 2D materials appealed to the attention of the scientific community on account of their combinations of electronic, optical, robust mechanical, and chemical properties that are characteristically distinct from their parental 3D materials. Furthermore, the diverse inclusion of different electronic/optical properties of 2D material makes them advantageous entrants towards novel transient electronics/ optoelectronics applications. Near atomic thick two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) terminated with sulfide anions poises minimal toxicity. Additionally, a green approach, such as water-assisted integration of 2D MoS2, only requires water and paves the way for integrating 2D MoS2 into any arbitrary substrate, i.e., biodegradable cellulose and Ca-alginate for potential transient electronics. In our studies, we outlined the feasibility of integrating 2D MoS2 and biodegradable and biocompatible substrates in transient electronics
