Molecular Assembly by Sequential Ionic Adsorption of Nanocrystalline TiO2 and a Conjugated Polymer

Abstract

Cationic nanocrystalline TiO₂ particles have been synthesized for which the size and composition of the nanoparticles were analyzed by a transmission emission microscopy and energy dispersive x‐ray spectrometer (EDXS). Multilayered films have been fabricated by sequential adsorption of TiO₂ nanoparticles and poly(3‐thiophene acetic acid) (PTAA). Each layer of the nanoparticles and PTAA in the thin film has also been characterized by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and UV‐visible spectroscopy. These types of multilayered nanocomposite films may find applications in the fabrication of efficient light harvesting photovoltaic cells.     

喷墨打印有机晶体管早期失效机理的光谱学研究

喷墨打印工艺是新兴的有机电子器件制造核心技术之一,而聚合有机半导体材料的选择从一定程度上决定了其可打印性和所制造器件的工作性能,因此变得极其重要。本文对PTAA(Polytriarylamine)这种聚合有机半导体材料进行了研究。用PTAA喷墨打印技术制备出了具有一定MOSFET器件特性的有机晶体管(OFET)并对其电学特性进行测试分析,利用红外光谱技术对PTAA材料在器件工作中所表现出的早期失效现象进行研究。
