Photoelectrochemical study of organic–inorganic hybrid thin films via electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly

The stepwise assembly of negatively charged organic molecules (poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) or tetrasodium-meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphine (TPPS)) and positively charged TiO₂ colloids on pretreated substrate surfaces utilizing the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach was investigated. The step-by-step formation of these films was studied by UV–vis spectrophotometry and electrochemistry. Photocurrent was generated upon light irradiation of the hybrid thin films assembled on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting glass, which increased linearly as the deposited bilayers increased. In addition, compared to PSS/TiO₂ hybrid thin films, the enhancement of the generated photocurrent and the photocurrent response within the wavelength range from 400 to 450 nm were observed in the TPPS/TiO₂ hybrid thin films. This was attributed to the dye-sensitized effect of the layered TPPS molecules. It was demonstrated that electrostatic LbL films were attractive systems for the photoelectrochemical investigation, and the control of the generated photocurrent could be achieved by the structure of the multilayered films.

The electrochemical reduction of oxides to metals has been studied for decades. Earlier work produced polycrystalline bulk metals. Here, we report that pre-electrodeposited epitaxial face-centered cubic magnetite thin films can be electrochemically reduced to epitaxial body-centered cubic iron thin films in aqueous solution on single-crystalline gold substrates at room temperature. This technique opens new possibilities to produce special epitaxial metal/metal oxide heterojunctions and a wide range of epitaxial metallic alloy films from the corresponding mixed metal oxides.

Synthesis and characterization of chemically grown electrochromic tungsten oxide

Tungsten oxide thin films, which are cathodic coloration materials that are used in electrochromic devices, were prepared by a chemical growth method and their electrochromic properties were investigated. The thin films of WO₃ were deposited onto electrically conducting substrates: fluorine doped tin oxide coated glass (FTO) with sheet resistance of about 10 Ω/cm. Transparent, uniform and strongly adherent thin film samples of WO₃ were studied for their structural, morphological, optical and electrochromic properties. The XRD data confirmed the monoclinic crystal structure of WO₃ thin films. The direct band gap Eg for the films was found to be 2.95 eV which is good for electrochromic device application. The electrochromism of WO₃ thin film was evaluated in 0.5 M LiClO₄/propylene carbonate for Li⁺ intercalation. Electrochromic properties of WO₃ thin films were studied with the help of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry (CA) and Chronocoulometry (CC) techniques.     

Thin Films that Consist of CuO Mesocrystal Nanosheets: An Application of Microbial‐Mineralization‐Inspired Approaches to Thin‐Film Formation

Thin films of copper oxides can be synthesized on substrates by using approaches that are inspired by microbial mineralization processes. In nature, precipitates of manganese and iron oxides with controlled oxidation states and crystal phases are produced through biomineralization by microorganisms. We have previously reported microbial‐mineralization‐inspired approaches that are comprised of direct and intermediate routes for the controlled syntheses of transition‐metal oxides. Herein, these approaches are applied to the thin‐film formation and coating of copper oxides and a related compound with controlled crystal phases and morphologies. Thin films of CuO, Cu₂O, and Cu₂(OH)₃Cl were selectively synthesized by using direct or intermediate routes. Notably, CuO mesocrystal nanosheets formed a thin film over the whole of the substrate. The resultant CuO mesocrystal nanosheets showed enhanced properties for the electrochemical detection of dopamine. This study shows the potential applicability of microbial‐mineralization‐inspired approaches to thin‐film coatings.     

黑色微弧氧化膜的制备及其表征

利用二次微弧氧化法,通过在磷酸盐体系的电解液中添加柠檬酸铁,在AZ40M镁合金基底表面成功制备了黑色的微弧氧化膜层。并利用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、能谱仪（EDS）、X射线衍射（XRD）和X射线光电子能谱（XPS）分别对黑色膜层的形貌和成分组成进行了表征,探讨了黑色微弧氧化膜层的形成过程及机理。结果显示,黑色膜层的主要成分为氧化镁,同时伴随着一定量的铁氧化物,包括四氧化三铁、氧化亚铁和单质铁。因此镁基底表面黑色膜层的形成可归因于柠檬酸铁中的铁离子在成膜过程中参与反应形成了黑色的四氧化三铁、氧化亚铁和单质铁混合物,并均匀地沉积在氧化膜中。     

Effect of substrates on the structural,morphological, and optical properties of sprayed CdO thin films using nebulizer

CdO thin films were deposited on glass, quartz, FTO, silicon wafers of p-type and n-type at 200?°C of substrate temperature employing spray pyrolysis technique using nebulizer. As deposited cadmium oxide thin films were analyzed to find crystallite size, morphology of the substrate, elemental composition and band gap using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and UV–Vis spectrophotometer. Nature of the thin film was found to be polycrystalline with face centered cubic structure with (111) preferential orientation and evaluated structural parameters show significant effect of used substrates. Spherical sized grains were observed on the surface of the thin films using SEM. The EDAX analysis confirmed that cadmium and oxygen were present in the sample. Direct allowed transition with band gap values lying in the range 2.34–2.44?eV for all the films deposited on various substrates. Among, these thin film coated on FTO substrate was found to have high crystallinity with a narrow band gap, which may be more suitable for opto-electronic applications.

Influence du pH sur les proprietes chimiques et structurales des films d'oxyde formes sur l'acier 316L et les alliages 600 et 690 dans les milieux aqueux a haute temperature

Influence of pH on the chemical and structural properties of the oxide films formed on 316L stainless steel, alloy 600 and alloy 690 in high temperature aqueous environments. The oxide films formed on 316L stainless steel, alloy 600 and alloy 690 at 320°C in high temperature aqueous environments of different pH have been examined by glow discharge optical spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and capacitance measurements. The analytical study reveals that the films formed at pH 5 are mainly composed of chromium oxides. When the pH increases the chromium concentration decreases and those of the other two elements (Ni and Fe) tend to increase. The films formed at pH 5 on 316L stainless steel and alloy 600 are thick and powder-like. The film formed at the same pH on alloy 690 is thin and is composed of a compact protective inner layer and a less-compact outer layer formed by crystals of mixed iron-nickel-chromium oxides. The morphological appearance of the thick films and that of the thin films is very different. However, equivalent morphologies can be observed for the relatively thin duplex films formed at pH8 and pH9.5 on the 316L stainless steel and nickel-base alloys. The evolution of the chemical composition of the films is accompanied by important changes from the point of view of their semiconductivity.
