    Abstract

    In this paper we demonstrate the design and development of a family of low-cost, self-powered, wireless sensor solutions utilizing both analog and digital principles. The sensors will utilize Graphene-based thin films integrated directly into the structure. For an immediately deployable digital sensing solution compatible with current commercial technologies we will utilize the Intel WISP platform, which can be read with current COTS products. Our thin films are produced from water-based, inkjet printed graphene oxide (GO) on paper/Kapton, developed using both conventional thermal and laser reduction techniques. In addition to reporting the first ever integration of inkjet-printed water soluble GO inks into low cost, flexible RF electronics, we also bring gas sensing capabilities to RFID tags relying on purely wireless digital transmission. The introduction of low cost, mass producible, eco-friendly, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) films on paper substrates lays the foundation for the development of a wide range of new low-cost, high performance Graphene-based electronic devices.
