The project aims to develop self-powered paper devices that generates power based on interaction with water moisture. Due to the light weight of these devices and their ability to generate power, they can be incorporated to disposable face masks to power ‘on demand’ integrated sensors, for disease detection. The sensors will be activated as a result of the interaction of the water content in human breath and the developed paper devices.
