CuInS2量子点阻变效应

采用改进的热分解法制备了具有半导体效应的CuInS₂量子点,量子点尺寸均匀、大小为4.2 nm。组装的Au/CuInS₂/FTO阻变存储器件表现出典型的双极性阻变特点,其开态电压为-3.8 V,关态电压为4 V,ON/OFF开关比约为10³。对器件的I-V特性曲线线性拟合发现,器件的阻变机制在高阻态时表现为空间限制电荷（SCLC）传导机制,在低阻态时表现为欧姆传导机制。器件的阻变特性主要是由于电荷被CuInS₂薄膜中的缺陷产生的势阱捕获导致。通过调节陷阱势垒高度引起电荷在陷阱中移动,导致导电通路的产生和断裂,使器件处于高阻态和低阻态。

Impact of Top Electrodes (Cu,Ag, and Al) on Resistive Switching behaviour of Cu-rich Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) Ideal Kesterite

Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) active material-based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are investigated to understand the impact of three different Cu, Ag, and Al top electrodes. The dual resistance switching (RS) behaviour of spin coated CZTS on ITO/Glass is investigated up to 10² cycles. The stability of all the devices (Cu/CZTS/ITO, Ag/CZTS/ITO, and Al/CZTS/ITO) is investigated up to 10³ sec in low- (LRS) and high- (HRS) resistance states at 0.2 V read voltage. The endurance up to 10² cycles with 30 msec switching width shows stable write and erase current. Weibull cumulative distribution plots suggest that Ag top electrode is relatively more stable for set and reset state with 33.61 and 25.02 shape factors, respectively. The charge carrier transportation is explained by double logarithmic plots, Schottky emission plots, and band diagrams, substantiating that at lower applied electric field intrinsic copper ions dominate in Cu/CZTS/ITO, whereas, at higher electric filed, top electrodes (Cu and Ag) dominate over intrinsic copper ions. Intrinsic Cu⁺ in CZTS plays a decisive role in resistive switching with Al electrode. Further, the impedance spectroscopy measurements suggest that Cu⁺ and Ag⁺ diffusion is the main source for the resistive switching with Cu and Ag electrodes.     

In situ Investigations of Interfacial Degradation and Ion Migration at CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite/Ag Interfaces

Interfacial properties between perovskite layers and metal electrodes play a crucial role in the device performance and the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the interfacial degradation and ion migration at the interface between CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite layer and Ag electrode. Using in situ photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we found that the Ag electrode could induce the degradation of perovskite layers, leading to the formation of PbI₂ and AgI species and the reduction of Pb²⁺ ions to metallic Pb species at the interface. The unconventional enhancement of the intensities of I 3d spectra provides direct experimental evidences for the migration of iodide ions from CH₃NH₃PbI₃ subsurface to Ag electrode. Moreover, the contact of Ag electrode and perovskite layers induces an interfacial dipole of 0.3 eV at CH₃NH₃PbI₃/Ag interfaces, which may further facilitate iodide ion di usion, resulting in the decomposition of perovskite layers and the corrosion of Ag electrode.     

Bipolar Resistive Switching Behavior of PVP-GQD/HfOx/ITO/Graphene Hybrid Flexible Resistive Random Access Memory

We have investigated highly flexible memristive devices using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet nanocomposites with an embedded GQD Layer. Resistive switching behavior of poly (4-vinylphenol):graphene quantum dot (PVP:GQD) composite and HfOx hybrid bilayer was explored for developing flexible resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. A composite active layer was designed based on graphene quantum dots, which is a low-dimensional structure, and a heterogeneous active layer of graphene quantum dots was applied to the interfacial defect structure to overcome the limitations. Increasing to 0.3–0.6 wt % PVP-GQD, V_f changed from 2.27–2.74 V. When negative deflection is applied to the lower electrode, electrons travel through the HfOx/ITO interface. In addition, as the PVP-GQD concentration increased, the depth of the interfacial defect decreased, and confirmed the repetition of appropriate electrical properties through Al and HfOx/ITO. The low interfacial defects help electrophoresis of Al⁺ ions to the PVP GQD layer and the HfOx thin film. A local electric field increase occurred, resulting in the breakage of the conductive filament in the defect.     

Detection of nicotine based on molecularly imprinted TiO2-modified electrodes

Amperometric detection of nicotine (NIC) was carried out on a titanium dioxide (TiO₂)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-modified electrode by a molecular imprinting technique. In order to improve the conductivity of the substrate, PEDOT was coated onto the sintered electrode by in situ electrochemical polymerization of the monomer. The sensing potential of the NIC-imprinted TiO₂ electrode (ITO/TiO₂[NIC]/PEDOT) in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution (pH 7.4) containing 0.1 M KCl was determined to be 0.88 V (vs. Ag/AgCl/saturated KCl). The linear detection range for NIC oxidation on the so-called ITO/TiO₂[NIC]/PEDOT electrode was 0-5 mM, with a sensitivity and limit of detection of 31.35 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻² and 4.9 μM, respectively. When comparing with the performance of the non-imprinted one, the sensitivity ratio was about 1.24. The sensitivity enhancement was attributed to the increase in the electroactive area of the imprinted electrode. The at-rest stability of the ITO/TiO₂[NIC]/PEDOT electrode was tested over a period of 3 days. The current response remained about 85% of its initial value at the end of 2 days. The ITO/TiO₂[NIC]/PEDOT electrode showed reasonably good selectivity in distinguishing NIC from its major interferent, (−)-cotinine (COT). Moreover, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was employed to elucidate the surface morphology of the imprinted and non-imprinted electrodes using Fe(CN)₆³⁻/Fe(CN)₆⁴⁻ as a redox probe on a platinum tip. The imprinted electrode was further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).     

Electrochromic devices based on copolymers of 3-Trimethoxysilanylpropyl-N-aniline-2,5-Dimethoxyaniline

Electrochemical copolymerization of 3-trimethoxysilanyl-propyl-N-aniline (TMSPA) with 2,5-dimethoxyaniline (DMA) was performed in 1 M HCl aqueous solution for different feed ratios of TMSPA using cyclic voltammetry. The deposition rate of TMSPA–DMA copolymer is higher than that of PTMSPA but lower than that of PDMA. (TMSPA-co-DMA) film was deposited using electrochemical polymerization as conducting film on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and used as an electrode in an electrochromic device. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was spin-coated on ITO as the other electrode. Carboxyl-terminated- butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN) blended with LiClO₄ was used as solid polymer electrolyte. A total solid electrochromic device was assembled as follows: ITO|P(TMSPA-co-DMA)LiClO₄-CTBNPEDOT:PSS|ITO. The columbic efficiency of the devices reached to 104% for P(TMSPA-co-DMA) film with TMSPA feed ratio of 0.25. The optical contrast (ΔT, %) of the single electrode and the device were determined by UV–vis spectroelectrochemical studies. The stability of ΔT was improved during color switching from +1.5 to −1.5 V (vs. PEDOT) for this device. The device was pale yellow at −1.5 V and blue at +1.5 V.     

Electrochemical Synthesis of Chitosan‐co‐polyaniline/WO3⋅nH2O Composite Electrode for Amperometric Detection of NO2 Gas

An electrode of hydrated tungsten oxide (WO₃?nH₂O) embedded chitosan‐co‐polyaniline (CHIT‐co‐PANI) composite was electrochemically prepared on an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass surface using mineral acid as a supporting electrolyte. The resulting CHIT‐co‐PANI/WO₃?nH₂O/ITO electrode was characterized using ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The composite electrode exhibited a three‐dimensional nanofibrous structure with the diameter of the nanofibers ranging from 20 to 100 nm. The CHIT‐co‐PANI/WO₃?nH₂O/ITO electrode allowed for the low potential detection of NO₂ gas in acidic medium. The NO₂ gas sensing characteristics were studied by measuring change in the current with respect to concentration and time. Using the CHIT‐co‐PANI/WO₃?nH₂O/ITO electrode, NO₂ gas was detected electrochemically without interference at pH 2.0 and 0.25 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The current of the electrochemical cell with the CHIT‐co‐PANI/WO₃?nH₂O/ITO electrode decreased linearly with an increase in NO₂ gas concentration in a range from 100 to 500 ppb with a response time of eight seconds.     

Electrochemical detection of hydrazine using a highly sensitive nanoporous gold electrode

A facile alloy–dealloy technique performed in aqueous media was employed to prepare a nanoporous gold (NPG) electrode that demonstrated extremely high sensitivity toward hydrazine oxidation. An Ag_∼60Au_∼40 alloy was electrodeposited at a constant potential on sequentially Cr- and Au-deposited indium tin oxide (Au/Cr/ITO) from a bath that contained sulfuric acid, thiourea, HAuCl₄·3H₂O, and AgNO₃. The dealloying step was performed in concentrated HNO₃, where Ag in the alloy was selectively oxidized to leave the NPG structure. The NPG electrode was employed to study the hydrazine oxidation in basic phosphate buffer solution (PBS), and the results were compared with those obtained using the gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-modified ITO (AuNP/ITO) electrode. The NPG electrode demonstrated an unusual surface-confined behavior, which probably resulted from the thin-layer characteristics of the nano-pores. Hydrazine was detected by hydrodynamic chronoamperometry (HCA) at +0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The steady-state oxidative current exhibited a linear dependence on the hydrazine concentration in the concentration range of 5.00 nM–2.05 mM, and the detection limit was 4.37 nM (σ = 3). This detection limit is the lower than the detection limits reported in the current literature concerning the electrochemical detection of hydrazine. The NPG electrode indeed demonstrates greater stability after hydrazine detection than the AuNP/ITO electrode.     

Chemical Adsorption onto an ITO Substrate of Single‐Wall Carbon Nanotube Functionalized by Carboxylic Groups as an Efficient Support for Electrocatalyst

A single‐wall carbon nanotube functionalized by carboxylic groups (SWNT‐CA) was found to be adsorbed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode by chemical interaction between carboxylic groups and the ITO surface. The adsorption experiments indicated that the narrow pH conditions (around pH 3.0) exist for its adsorption which is restricted by preparation of stable fluid dispersion (favorable at higher pH) and by the chemical interaction (favorable at lower pH). Atomic force microscopic (AFM) measurements suggest that fragmented SWNT‐CA are adsorbed, primarily lying on the surface. Electrochemical impedance analysis indicated that an electrochemical double layer capacitance of the SWNT‐CA/ITO electrode is considerably higher than that for the ITO electrode, suggesting that the interfacial area between the electrode surface and the electrolyte solution is enlarged by the SWNT‐CA layer. Pt particles were deposited as a catalyst on the bare ITO and SWNT‐CA‐coated ITO (SWNT‐CA/ITO) electrodes to give respective Pt‐modified electrodes (denoted as a Pt/ITO electrode and a Pt/SWNT‐CA/ITO electrode, respectively). The cathodic current for the Pt/SWNT‐CA/ITO electrode was 1.7 times higher than that for the Pt/ITO electrode at 0.0 V, showing that the Pt/SWNT‐CA/ITO electrode works more efficiently for O₂ reduction at 0.0 V due to the SWNT‐CA layer. The enhancement by the SWNT‐CA layer is also effective for electrocatalytic proton reduction. It could be ascribable to the enlarged interfacial area between the electrode surface and the electrolyte solution.
