"ultrabroadband, mechanically deformable... combines p-/ n-type chemical carrier imager channel doping: pn junction-based semi-CNTs improves inherent bottlenecking giant noise/ insufficient photo-absorption of doping... comparable photo-detection sensitivity to existing bulky devices... wireless by synergising inherent high thermoelectric conversion efficiency/ enriched electrical/optical properties, into advantageous >10X large photo-detection responses (up to tens of mV)... omni-direction multi-band remote controllable"
