Surface modifications of ITO electrodes for polymer light-emitting devices

Surface modifications were performed on the indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates for polymer light-emitting devices, using the different treatment methods including solvent cleaning, hydrochloric acid treatment and oxygen plasma. The influence of modifications on the surface properties of ITO electrodes were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, and four-point probe. The surface energies of the ITO substrates were also calculated from the measured contact angles. Experimental results demonstrate that the surface properties of the ITO substrates strongly depend on the modification methods, and oxygen plasma more effectively improves the ITO surface properties compared with the other treatments. Furthermore, the polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) with the differently treated ITO substrates as device electrodes were fabricated and characterized. It is observed that the surface modifications on ITO electrodes have a certain degree of influence upon the injection current, luminance and efficiency, but hardly upon the turn-on voltages of current injection and light emission which are close to the measured energy gap of electroluminescent polymer. Oxygen plasma treatment on the ITO electrode yields the better performance of the LECs, due to the improvement of interface formation and electrical contact of the ITO electrode with the polymer blend in the LECs.

Electronic absorption spectra of 5- and 6- fluoroindoles

The electronic absorption spectra of 5-and 6-fluoroindoles, corresponding to the λ2850 Å system of indole, have been recorded in the vapour phase and analysed, assuming C_s symmetry for the molecules. The observed band system in both the molecules which lies in the region λ3100–2680 Å has been identified as a π* ← π transition corresponding to a ¹A′ ← ¹A′ transition. The i.r. spectra of these molecules have also been recorded and analysed and the results are used in the analyses of the electronic spectra. These show that there is not much change in the shape and very little change in size of either of these molecules in the excited electronic states.

The oxygen sensitive properties of (LaBa)Co2O5+δ thin films fabricated by polymer-assisted deposition technique

(LaBa)Co₂O_5+δ (LBCO) thin films were successfully fabricated on Si (001) substrates by polymer-assisted deposition method. Microstructures were examined by X-ray diffraction technique, which confirmed the films were a single phase, pseudo cubic structure. The electrical transport properties of the films were investigated by the temperature dependence of films resistance, which suggested that LBCO films have typical semiconductor properties. After circle tests, the oxygen–hydrogen response rate did not show obvious variation in the specific temperature environment of 580 °C. This demonstrates that the LBCO thin films have a superior stability in both oxygen and hydrogen (6 % H₂, 94 % N₂) environment. Simultaneously, the drastic changes of films resistance (from ~10⁶ to ~10² Ω) with the switch of redox (O₂–H₂) environment within such a short time (~2.2 s) indicated that LBCO films have an excellent oxygen sensitive property and extraordinary fast surface exchange rate.     

Highly efficient and stable electrooxidation of methanol and ethanol on 3D Pt catalyst by thermal decomposition of In_2O_3 nanoshells

In this paper In_2O_3 nanoshells have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal approach.The nanoshells can be completely cracked into pony-size nanocubes by annealing,which are then used as a support of Pt catalyst for methanol and ethanol electrocatalytic oxidation.The prepared In_2O_3 and supported Pt catalysts(Pt/In_2O_3) were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),field effect scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Cyclic voltammetry(CV),linear sweep voltammetry(LSV),chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) were carried out,indicating the excellent catalytic performance for alcohol electrooxidation can be achieved on Pt/In_2O_3 nanocatalysts due to the multiple active sites,high conductivity and a mass of microchannels and micropores for reactant diffusions arising from 3D frame structures compared with that on the Pt/C catalysts.
