The Handbook of Paper-Based Sensors and Devices
Volume 4: Biomedical- and Environment Engineering, and Energy Technologies
Ghenadii Korotcenkov
Technology & Engineering / Biomedical
This collection on Biomedical- and Environment Engineering, and Energy Technologies is the fourth of a four-volume handbook volume is focused on considering in details the application of paper and nanocellulose in such fields as biotechnology, new biomaterials, bioengineering, water treatment, air purification, food and packaging industry, and energy technologies. It examines how cellulose and cellulose-based membranes can be used to absorb organic and inorganic toxins, filter bacteria, viruses and ionic contaminants, photocatalytic dye removal and detect aqueous toxins. Chapters also provide a comprehensive overview of the operating principles, manufacturing specifics, parameters, functional materials used, and application features of paper and cellulose-based devices designed for energy technologies. They show that a large number of different devices can be developed based on paper, such as supercapacitors, batteries, fuels cells, various electric generators, which have such important functional properties as bendability and increased efficiency. As it is known, flexibility and recyclability are crucial for next generation devices developed for energy technologies. Finally, the book highlights a number of challenges associated with developing paper-based sensors and devices.
Present book collection enables the reader to understand the present status of paper and cellulose both in biotechnology and environment engineering, and the role of paper in the development of new generation of devices for energy technologies with enhanced efficiency. World renowned experts with extensive expertise in the development of nanocellulose-based technology and paper-based devices comprise the contributors to this collection. The Handbook of Paper-Based Sensors and Devices is an authoritative reference for materials scientists, biologists, physicians, and biochemical engineers as well as for chemical, biomedical, environmental, electronics, agriculture engineers and the food biotechnologists, working in R&D industry and academia. It further stands as a valuable teaching tool for university faculty and students working in chemical sensing, biosensing, biomedicine, biomaterials, environment protection and remediation.
Doctor Hubilitat Ghenadii Korotcenkov is Chief Scientific Researcher, Moldova State University, Chisinau, Moldova. He has more than 50 years of research experience in the field of materials science and the development and research of various devices based on semiconductor materials. Until 1995 he studied Schottky barriers, MOS structures, native oxides, and various photoreceivers based on III–Vs compounds such as InP, GaP, AlGaAs, and InGaAs. His current research interests since 1995 include material sciences, focusing on metal oxide film deposition and characterization (In2O3, SnO2, ZnO, TiO2), surface science, thermoelectric conversion, and design of physical and chemical sensors, including thin film gas sensors. G. Korotcenkov is the author or editor of 48 books and special issues published by Momentum Press, CRC Press, Springer (USA), Springer Nature (Switzerland), Harbin Institute of Technology Press (China), Trans Tech Publication (Switzerland) and EDP Sciences (France). Currently he is a series editor of “Metal Oxides” book series published by Elsevier. Since 2017, more than 45 volumes have been published within this series. G. Korotcenkov is the author and coauthor of more than 700 scientific publications, including 40 review papers, 85 book chapters, more than 250 peer-reviewed articles published in scientific journals (h-factor=45 (Web of Science), h=47 (Scopus) and h=77 (Google scholar citation), 2025). His scientific work has been recognized with numerous awards, including an the National Prize of the Republic of Moldova (2022), the Honorary Diploma of the Government of the Republic of Moldova (2020, 2024), an Award of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova (2019), the Prize of the Presidents of the Ukrainian, Belarus, and Moldovan Academies of Sciences (2004), an Award of the Supreme Council of Science and Advanced Technology of the Republic of Moldova as the best scientist of the year (2003) and others. G. Korotcenkov have also been listed as one of the "World's Ranking Top 2% Scientists" in Applied Physics/Analytical Chemistry in the Physics and Astronomy Cluster. G. Korotcenkov received a fellowships from the International Research Exchange Board (IREX, United States, 1998), Brain Korea 21 Program (2008-2012), and BrainPool Program (Korea, 2007-2008 and 2015-2017).
