Conductive Fused Porphyrin Tapes on Sensitive Substrates by a Chemical Vapor Deposition Approach.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative polymerization of nickel(II) 5,15-diphenyl porphyrin and nickel(II) 5,15-bis(di-3,5-tert-butylphenyl) porphyrin by oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) yields multiply fused porphyrin oligomers in thin film form. The oCVD technique enables one-step formation, deposition, and p-doping of conjugated poly(porphyrins) coatings without solvents or post-treatments. The decisive reactions and side reactions during the oCVD process are shown by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Owing to the highly conjugated structure of the fused tapes, the thin films exhibit an electrical conductivity of 3.6×10^-2 ?S?cm^-1 and strong absorption in the visible to near-infrared spectral region. The formation of smooth conjugated poly(porphyrins) coatings, even on sensitive substrates, is demonstrated by deposition and patterning on glass, silicon, and paper. Formation of conductive poly(porphyrins) thin films could enable the design of new optoelectronic devices using the oCVD approach.

Deposition of Ion-Conductive Membranes from Ionic Liquids via Initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:In this study, liquid droplets of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide have been processed by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) with a cross-linked polymer film consisting of (hydroxyethyl)methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate to develop free-standing, ion-conductive membranes. We found that the obtained films are solids and have a conductivity of up to 18 ± 6 mS/cm, associated with the negatively charged counterion, indicating no loss of conductivity, compared to the ionic liquid in the liquid state. The membranes were conductive within a large process window and in air, thanks to the fact that the iCVD process does not affect the mobility of the anion in the ionic liquid. Furthermore, we demonstrate that varying the deposition conditions can influence the homogeneity and conductivity of the resulting membranes. The promising results of this study represent an important stepping stone on the way to novel ion-conductive membranes.

Fused Metalloporphyrin Thin Film with Tunable Porosity via Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:Porous and highly conjugated multiply fused porphyrin thin films are prepared from a fast and single-step chemical vapor deposition approach. While the solution-based coupling of porphyrins is usually undertaken at room temperature, the gas phase reaction of nickel(II) 5,15-(diphenyl)porphyrin and iron(III) chloride (FeCl3) is investigated for temperatures as high as 200 °C. Helium ion and atomic force microscopy, supported by weight and thickness measurements, shows a drastic decrease of the fused porphyrin thin film's density accompanied by the formation of a mesoporous morphology upon increase of the reaction temperature. The increase of the film's porosity is attributed to formation of a greater amount of HCl (originated from both the oxidative coupling and chlorination reactions) and the release of gaseous FeCl3 byproducts, i.e., Cl2, at higher deposition temperatures. In addition, high resolution mass spectrometry reveals that increase of the reaction temperature promotes a higher degree of conjugation of the fused porphyrins chains, which ensures that high electronic conductivities are maintained along with high porosity. The method reported herein could enable the engineering of fused porphyrin thin films in sensing and catalytic devices.

Highly Sensitive Hall Sensors Based on Chemical Vapor Deposition Graphene.

Project description:In this work, we demonstrate highly sensitive and scalable Hall sensors fabricated by adopting arrays of monolayer single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene. The devices are based on graphene Hall bars with a carrier mobility of >12000 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a low residual carrier density of ∼1 × 1011 cm-2, showing Hall sensitivity higher than 5000 V A-1 T-1, which is a value previously only achieved when using exfoliated graphene encapsulated with flakes of hexagonal boron nitride. We also implement a facile and scalable polymeric encapsulation, allowing the performance of graphene Hall bars to be stabilized when measured in an ambient environment. We demonstrate that this capping method can reduce the degradation of electrical transport properties when the graphene devices are kept in air over 10 weeks. State-of-the-art performance of the realized devices, based on scalable synthesis and encapsulation, contributes to the proliferation of graphene-based Hall sensors.

Electrically Conductive and Highly Stretchable Piezoresistive Polymer Nanocomposites via Oxidative Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:Electrically conductive polymer nanocomposites have been the subject of intense research due to their promising potential as piezoresistive biomedical sensors, leveraging their flexibility and biocompatibility. Although intrinsically conductive polymers such as polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline have emerged as lucrative candidates, they are extremely limited in their processability by conventional solution-based approaches. In this work, ultrathin nanostructured coatings of doped PPy are realized on polyurethane films of different architectures via oxidative chemical vapor deposition to develop stretchable and flexible resistance-based strain sensors. Holding the substrates perpendicular to the reactant flows facilitates diffusive transport and ensures excellent conformality of the interfacial integrated PPy coatings throughout the 3D porous electrospun fiber mats in a single step. This allows the mechanically robust (stretchability > 400%, with fatigue resistance up to 1000 cycles) nanocomposites to elicit a reversible change of electrical resistance when subjected to consecutive cycles of stretching and releasing. The repeatable performance of the strain sensor is linear due to dimensional changes of the conductive network in the low-strain regime (ε ≤ 50%), while the evolution of nano-cracks leads to an exponential increase, which is observed in the high-strain regime, recording a gauge factor as high as 46 at 202% elongational strain. The stretchable conductive polymer nanocomposites also show biocompatibility toward human dermal fibroblasts, thus providing a promising path for use as piezoresistive strain sensors and finding applications in biomedical applications such as wearable, skin-mountable flexible electronics.

Highly conductive and transparent gallium doped zinc oxide thin films via chemical vapor deposition.

Project description:Degenerately doped ZnO is seen as a potential substitute to the ubiquitous and expensive Sn doped In2O3 as a transparent electrode in optoelectronic devices. Here, highly conductive and transparent Ga doped ZnO thin films were grown via aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. The lowest resistivity (7.8 × 10-4 Ω.cm) and highest carrier concentration (4.23 × 1020 cm-3) ever reported for AACVD grown ZnO: Ga was achieved due to using oxygen poor growth conditions enabled by diethylzinc and triethylgallium precursors.

Plasma-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition of F-Doped MnO2 Nanostructures on Single Crystal Substrates.

Project description:MnO2 nanostructures were fabricated by plasma assisted-chemical vapor deposition (PA-CVD) using a fluorinated diketonate diamine manganese complex, acting as single-source precursor for both Mn and F. The syntheses were performed from Ar/O2 plasmas on MgAl2O4(100), YAlO3(010), and Y3Al5O12(100) single crystals at a growth temperature of 300 °C, in order to investigate the substrate influence on material chemico-physical properties. A detailed characterization through complementary analytical techniques highlighted the formation of highly pure and oriented F-doped systems, comprising the sole β-MnO2 polymorph and exhibiting an inherent oxygen deficiency. Optical absorption spectroscopy revealed the presence of an appreciable Vis-light harvesting, of interest in view of possible photocatalytic applications in pollutant degradation and hydrogen production. The used substrates directly affected the system structural features, as well as the resulting magnetic characteristics. In particular, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) measurements, sensitive to the out-of-plane magnetization component, highlighted the formation of spin domains and long-range magnetic ordering in the developed materials, with features dependent on the system morphology. These results open the door to future engineering of the present nanostructures as possible magnetic media for integration in data storage devices.

Catalytic Growth of Gallium Nitride Nanowires on Wet Chemically Etched Substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:Growth of gallium nitride nanowires on etched sapphire and GaN substrates using binary catalytic alloy were investigated by manipulating the growth time and precursor-to-substrate distance. The variations in behavior at different growth conditions were observed using X-ray diffractometer, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. It was noticed that, in respect of both the substrates, when growth time and/or precursor-to-substrate distance is increased, thickness of the nanowires around the etch pits remains unaltered, but there is variation in the density of nanowires. In addition, formation of gallium nitride microwires within the etch pits was also observed on etched sapphire substrates. Similarly, the thickness and density of the microwires were found to increase with increase in growth time and decrease with increase in precursor-to-substrate distance. The dimensionality scaling of gallium nitride was found to have a positive effect in improving the luminescence property and band gap of the grown nanowires. This method of nanowire growth can be helpful in increasing the probability of multiple reflections in the materials which makes them a suitable candidate for optoelectronic devices.

Chemical-vapor-deposition-based polymer substrates for spatially resolved analysis of protein binding by imaging ellipsometry.

Project description:Biomolecular interactions between proteins and synthetic surfaces impact diverse biomedical fields. Simple, quantitative, label-free technologies for the analysis of protein adsorption and binding of biomolecules are thus needed. Here, we report the use of a novel type of substrate, poly-p-xylylene coatings prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization, for surface plasmon resonance enhanced ellipsometry (SPREE) studies and assess the reactive coatings as spatially resolved biomolecular sensing arrays. Prior to use in binding studies, reactive coatings were fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. As a result, the chemical structure, thickness, and homogeneous coverage of the substrate surface were confirmed for a series of CVD-coated samples. Subsequent SPREE imaging and fluorescence microscopy indicated that the synthetic substrates supported detectable binding of a cascade of biomolecules. Moreover, analysis revealed a useful thickness range for CVD films in the assessment of protein and/or antigen-antibody binding via SPREE imaging. With a variety of functionalized end groups available for biomolecule immobilization and ease of patterning, CVD thin films are useful substrates for spatially resolved, quantitative binding arrays.

Low Temperature Metal Free Growth of Graphene on Insulating Substrates by Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Project description:Direct growth of graphene films on dielectric substrates (quartz and silica) is reported, by means of remote electron cyclotron resonance plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition r-(ECR-CVD) at low temperature (650°C). Using a two step deposition process- nucleation and growth- by changing the partial pressure of the gas precursors at constant temperature, mostly monolayer continuous films, with grain sizes up to 500 nm are grown, exhibiting transmittance larger than 92% and sheet resistance as low as 900 ?·sq-1. The grain size and nucleation density of the resulting graphene sheets can be controlled varying the deposition time and pressure. In additon, first-principles DFT-based calculations have been carried out in order to rationalize the oxygen reduction in the quartz surface experimentally observed. This method is easily scalable and avoids damaging and expensive transfer steps of graphene films, improving compatibility with current fabrication technologies.
