Droplet manipulation using digital microfluidics is extensively being researched for various biological and chemical sensor applications. Among the various methods, liquid dielectrophoresis (L-DEP) offers precise droplet manipulation using high-frequency electric fields. L-DEP also aids in generating temperature inside the droplet. Even though droplet heating using L-DEP promises various potential capabilities in microfluidic sensor development, droplet actuation at high voltages [greater than 400 V peak voltage (V p
