Manganese oxide thin films with various oxidation states (MnO, Mn3O4 and Mn2O3) have been prepared by pulsed laser deposition using a Mn target at different oxygen partial pressures. The structural and morphological features of the as-deposited thin films are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The oxidation states of Mn in different thin films are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for both Mn 2p and 3s levels. It is found that the structure, surface morphology, and Mn oxidation state of the thin films can be tuned by oxygen partial pressure during the deposition. As anode for thin film lithium-ion microbatteries, the Mn3O4 thin film electrode exhibits the largest reversible capacity up to 800 mAh g−1 with good cycling stability and excellent rate capability. The promising electrochemical performance of the Mn3O4 thin film electrode indicates the potential application of Mn3O4 thin film anode in all solid-state thin film microbatteries. 相似文献

Graphene/MnO2 hybrid nanosheets were prepared by incorporating graphene and MnO2 nanosheets in ethylene glycol. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirmed nanosheet morphology of the hybrid materials. Graphene/MnO2 hybrid nanosheets with different ratios were investigated as electrode materials for supercapacitors by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge–discharge in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte. We found that the graphene/MnO2 hybrid nanosheets with a weight ratio of 1:4 (graphene:MnO2) delivered the highest specific capacitance of 320 F g−1. Graphene/MnO2 hybrid nanosheets also exhibited good capacitance retention on 2000 cycles. 相似文献

Pt-PtOx thin films were prepared on Si(100) substrates at temperatures from 30 to 700°C by reactive r.f. magnetron sputtering with platinum target. Deposition atmosphere was varied with O2/Ar flow ratio. The deposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Resistively of the deposited films was measured by d.c. four probe method. The films mainly consisted of amorphous PtO and Pt3O4 (or Pt2O3) below 400°C, and amorphous Pt was increased in the film as a deposition temperature increased to 600°C. When deposition temperature was thoroughly increased, (111) oriented pure Pt films were formed at 700°C. Compounds included in the films strongly depended on substrate temperature rather than O2/Ar flow ratio. Electrical resistivity of Pt-PtOx films was measured to be from the order of 10−1 Ω cm to 10−5 Ω cm, which was related to the amount of Pt phase included in the deposited films. 相似文献

All-organic PDLC (polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) light-valves using all-polymer conductive substrates containing thin films of polypyrrole doped with anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQSA−) as the driving electrodes were fabricated in this study. The all-polymer conductive substrates were prepared under ambient conditions by in situ depositing polypyrrole thin films on blank flexible poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, substrates from aqueous media in which oxidative polymerization of pyrrole was taking place. The obtained flexible all-polymer conductive substrates were semi-transparent with cohesive coatings of AQSA−-doped polypyrrole thin films (thickness ∼55 nm). The all-polymer flexible conductive substrates had sheet resistivity ∼40 kΩ □ −1and T% transparency against air ∼78% at 600 nm. The light-valves fabricated using the above all-polymer conductive substrates showed ∼50% transparency against air at 600 nm when 4 V μm−1 electric field was applied. 相似文献

Effect of tungsten on the electrochromic behaviour of sol-gel dip coated molybdenum oxide thin films
The paper describes the results obtained on the performance of Mo oxide and mixed W/Mo oxide thin films for possible electrochromic applications. Mo and W/Mo oxide films were deposited on conductive (FTO) glass substrates using sol-gel dip coating method. The films were annealed at 250 °C for 30 min. The structure and morphology of Mo and W/Mo oxide films were examined using XRD, SEM and EDS. XRD results indicate the amorphous nature of the Mo and W/Mo oxide films annealed for 30 min. The CV measurements revealed that the films prepared with 10 wt.% of tungsten exhibit maximum anodic/cathodic diffusion coefficient of 24.99/12.71 × 10−11 cm2/s. The same film exhibits a maximum transmittance variation (ΔT%) of 83.4% at 630 nm and 81.06% at 550 nm with the optical density of 1.00 and 1.13 respectively. 相似文献

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) films with different nanostructures are deposited on different substrates of fluorine-doped SnO2 (FTO) glass, Cu and Ti foil respectively by using chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique with the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The samples are characterized by X-ray diffractmeter, scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The results show that the prepared Cu2O films are composed of nanorod arrays when there is CTAB in reaction system. Without CTAB, Cu2O films with nanospheres are formed. The concentration of CTAB is crucial for the controllable synthesis of nanorod structured Cu2O films with different length to diameter ratio and nanorod array density is dependent on both substrates and CTAB. A possible mechanism for the formation of Cu2O nanorods is discussed. Additionally, the UV–vis absorption property for Cu2O nanorods is much better than that for nanospheres. The photovoltage produced under visible light for Cu2O nanorod films is higher than that for the nanospheres. Although Cu2O nanorods on Ti foil can absorb the most visible light, those on Cu foil demonstrate better and more stable photoelectrochemical property than those on any other substrates. This study may be extremely useful for Cu2O based device with nanostructures. 相似文献

In the present research, in order to deposit indium-tin oxide (ITO) thin films the method of RF reactive sputtering was used. Sputtering of two types indium-tin targets in the presence of oxygen as reactive gas was made. The technological parameters were optimized to obtain films with good quality on different substrates. The films' microstructure was studied by TEM and SAED. To identify the optical properties of the films the methods of infrared spectrometry and laser ellipsometry were used. UV-VIS spectrophotometry showed the high visible transmittance of the RF sputtered ITO films. Heating of the substrates during the films sputtering and their post deposition thermal treatment also were studied. The ultimate goal of the present research activities was to develop new technological processes leading to low-cost, highly effective optical coatings for application in photo thermal solar energy conversion and utilization. 相似文献

Searching the many papers reporting on the optical characteristics of tin oxide thin films, an obvious question arises: what is the origin of the very large differences in the reported optical and electrical properties of these films? The objective of the present work is to resolve this question by applying a modeling approach, simulating the refractive index of SnO, SnO2, SnO + SnO2, and porous tin oxide films in the visible range of the spectrum under various structure and composition conditions. Using the semi-empirical model of Wemple and DiDomenico for the dielectric function below the interband absorption edge of ionic and covalent solids, and the effective-medium theory of Bruggeman, the refractive indices of SnO, SnO2, several mixtures of SnO and SnO2 and various porous tin oxide films were calculated. The resulting data are compared with some published data to suggest the compositional and structural characteristics of the reported oxides. The correlation between the optical properties of the studied thin films and film composition is also indicated. It is proposed that the large spread in reported optical data is possibly a spread in the composition of the samples. 相似文献

We demonstrate the room temperature deposition of vanadium oxide thin films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique for application as the thermal sensing layer in uncooled infrared (IR) detectors. The films exhibit temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 2.8%/K implies promising application in uncooled IR detectors. A 2-D array of 10-element test microbolometer is fabricated without thermal isolation structure. The IR response of the microbolometer is measured in the spectral range 8-13 μm. The detectivity and the responsivity are determined as ∼6×105 cm Hz1/2/W and 36 V/W, respectively, at 10 Hz of the chopper frequency with 50 μA bias current for a thermal conductance G∼10-3 W/K between the thermal sensing layer and the substrate. By extrapolating with the data of a typical thermally isolated microbolometer (G∼10−7 W/K), the projected responsivity is found to be around 104 V/W, which well compares with the reported values. 相似文献

The preparation and electrochemical properties of 3D ordered nickel oxide/silicon microchannel plate (NiO/Si-MCP) array electrode materials for supercapacitors are studied. The Si-MCP fabricated by electrochemical etching is used as a 3D supporting structure for electrodes. The active NiO is synthesized by electroless plating of nickel on the surface of the Si-MCP followed by annealing under oxygen. The electrochemical properties of the NiO/Si-MCP nanocomposite electrode materials are studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronopotentiometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a 2 M KOH solution. The results reveal typical electrochemical capacitive behavior in the potential range from −0.6 to 1.0 V. The specific capacitance of approximately 586.4 F g−1 decreases slightly with 4.8% loss after 500 cycles. The linear and symmetrical charge/discharge curves are measured by chronopotentiometry. The NiO/Si-MCP composite is a promising electrode material for integrated supercapacitors. 相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) films have been electrodeposited from an aqueous solution containing 0.1 M zinc nitrate as the electrolyte with pH around 5±0.1. The deposition was carried out by galvanostatic reduction with an applied cathodic current density in the range between 5 and 20 mA cm−2. The influence of bath composition on the preparation of ZnO films is studied. The effects of zinc nitrate concentration and cathodic current density on the deposition rate of ZnO films were also studied. An optimum current density of 10 mA cm−2 is identified for the growth of ZnO film with improved crystallinity and optical transmittance. The crystalline structure of the deposits studied by X-ray diffraction reveals the possibility of growing hexagonal ZnO films under suitable electrochemical conditions. The surface morphological studies by scanning electron micrographs revealed the presence of nodular appearance for films deposited at 800 °C bath temperatures. 相似文献

Birnessite-type MnO2/activated carbon nanocomposites have been synthesized by directly reducing KMnO4 with activated carbon in an aqueous solution. It is found that the morphologies of MnO2 grown on activated carbon can be tailored by varying the reaction ratio of activated carbon and KMnO4. An asymmetric supercapacitor with high energy density was fabricated by using MnO2/activated carbon (MnO2/AC) nanocomposite as positive electrode and activated carbon as negative electrode in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte. The asymmetric supercapacitor can be cycled reversibly in the cell voltage of 0–2 V, and delivers a specific capacitance of 50.6 F g−1 and a maximum energy density of 28.1 Wh kg−1 (based on the total mass of active electrode materials of 9.4 mg), which is much higher than that of MnO2/AC symmetric supercapacitor (9.7 Wh kg−1). 相似文献

ZnO thin films with thickness d = 100 nm were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering onto glass substrate from different targets. The structural analyses of the films indicate they are polycrystalline and have a wurtzite (hexagonal) structure. Crystallites are preferentially oriented with (002) plane parallel to the substrate surface and the samples have low values for surface roughness, between 1.7 nm and 2.7 nm. The mechanism of electrical conduction in the studied films is strongly influenced by this polycrystalline structure and we used Van der Pauw method to analyze these properties. Electrical studies indicate that the ZnO thin films are n-type. For the cooling process, thermal activation energy of electrical conduction of the samples can vary from 1.22 eV to 1.07 eV (for the ZnO layer obtained from for metallic Zn target) and from 0.90 eV to 0.63 eV (for the ZnO layer obtained from ZnO target), respectively. The influence of deposition arrangement and oxidation conditions on the structural and electrical properties of the ZnO films was investigated in detail. 相似文献

Cerium (5-15% by weight) doped molybdenum oxide thin films have been prepared on FTO coated glass substrate at 250 °C using sol-gel dip coating method. The structural and morphological changes were observed with the help of XRD, SEM and EDS analysis. The amorphous structure of the Ce doped samples, favours easy intercalation and deintercalation processes. Mo oxide films with 10 wt.% of Ce exhibit maximum anodic diffusion coefficient of 24.99 × 10−11 cm2/s and the change in optical transmittance of (ΔT at 550 nm) of 79.28% between coloured and bleached state with the optical density of (ΔOD) 1.15. 相似文献

Various metal oxide-silica nanocomposite films have been recently proposed as gas-sensitive materials. This paper presents results on cobalt oxide-SiO2 mesoporous nanocomposite thin films templated by a cationic surfactant. The films were deposited on glass substrate by dip-coating process, using [Co(CH3COO)2]·4H2O and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as starting materials. The effect of withdrawal speed, number of layers and thermal treatment on the crystalline structure, morphology, Co-doping states, optical, electrical and gas sensing properties of the thin films has been investigated using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, optical transmittance and room temperature photoreduction-oxidation data. 相似文献

Superhydrophobic surface was prepared via immersing the clean perpendicular zinc substrate into aqueous copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) solution and followed by anneal under the humid condition. The prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis (EDX). SEM images of the films showed that the resulted surfaces exhibit micro–nano binary structures. The resulting surfaces had a high water contact angle (CA) of larger than 150° as well as a small sliding angle (SA) of less than 6°. Cu–Zn alloy formed by chemical displacement. Crystal CuZn5 formed via crystal transition via anneal treatment. Crystal ZnO formed in air or under the humid condition. The CuZn5–ZnO micro–nano binary structures leads to the surface superhydrophobicity. 相似文献

TaN-Ag nanocomposite thin films with Ag nanoparticles dispersed in TaN matrix and surface were prepared by reactive co-sputtering of Ta and Ag in a plasma of N2 and Ar. The films were then annealed using RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) at various annealing times and annealing temperatures to induce the nucleation and growth of Ag particles in the TaN matrix and on the film surface. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were applied to examine the microstructure and surface morphology of TaN-Ag thin films. It is found that Ag tends to precipitate on the columnar boundaries when Ag concentration is low. In this case, the hardness as well as the resistance-to-crack can be enhanced. When Ag concentration is high, the TaN columnar structure is disrupted which can reduce the hardness and resistance-to-crack. Overall, the results reveal that the hardness and crack resistance of these films can be controlled by varying Ag contents and annealing conditions. 相似文献

Polycrystalline ZnO-In2O3 thin films were prepared by thermal oxidation in air of metallic Zn-In films deposited onto glass substrates by thermal evaporation under vacuum. Different oxidation conditions (oxidation temperature, oxidation time, heating rate) were used in order to prepare homogeneous films that can be used as gas sensors. Polycrystalline structure of the as-obtained films was confirmed by X-ray and electron diffraction investigations. The electrical conductivity of various thin film samples ranged between 0.84 and 6.44 (Ω cm)− 1.Gas sensitivity to six different gasses (ammonia, methane, LPG, acetone, ethanol and formaldehyde) was evaluated and it was found that the highest sensitivity was obtained for ammonia. 相似文献

CdO doped (doping concentration 0, 1, 3 and 16 wt%) ZnO nanostructured thin films are grown on quartz substrate by pulsed laser deposition and the films are annealed at temperature 500 °C. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the annealed films are systematically studied using grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Micro-Raman spectra, UV–vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectra and open aperture z-scan. 1 wt% CdO doped ZnO films are annealed at different temperatures viz., 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C and the structural and optical properties of these films are also investigated. The XRD patterns suggest a hexagonal wurtzite structure for the films. The crystallite size, lattice constants, stress and lattice strain in the films are calculated. The presence of high-frequency E2 mode and the longitudinal optical A1 (LO) modes in the Raman spectra confirms the hexagonal wurtzite structure for the films. The presence of CdO in the doped films is confirmed from the EDX spectrum. SEM and AFM micrographs show that the films are uniform and the crystallites are in the nano-dimension. AFM picture suggests a porous network structure for 3% CdO doped film. The porosity and refractive indices of the films are calculated from the transmittance and reflectance spectra. Optical band gap energy is found to decrease in the CdO doped films as the CdO doping concentration increases. The PL spectra show emissions corresponding to the near band edge (NBE) ultra violet emission and deep level emission in the visible region. The 16CdZnO film shows an intense deep green PL emission. Non-linear optical measurements using the z-scan technique indicate that the saturable absorption (SA) behavior exhibited by undoped ZnO under green light excitation (532 nm) can be changed to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with CdO doping. From numerical simulations the saturation intensity (Is) and the effective two-photon absorption coefficient (β) are calculated for the undoped and CdO doped ZnO films. 相似文献

A silica-based hybrid nanocomposite, SiO2/polymethylhydrosiloxane (SiO2/PMHS), is synthesized by a sol-gel process and used for surface treatment of hardened cement-based materials. The advantages of both normal organic and inorganic silica-based treatment agents are explored. Results revealed a covalent chemical bonding of SiO2 and PMHS and the SiO2/PMHS showed hydrophobicity and pozzolanic reactivity when used for surface treatment. Greater reductions of the water absorption rate and gas permeability coefficient of cement-based materials were achieved by the hybrid nanocomposite compared to its individual components, showing synergistic effects of hydrophobicity and pore refinement characteristics as proved by the measurements of the contact angle, the mineralogy, the morphology and the porosity. The results showed promising advantages of using silica-based hybrid nanocomposite for surface treatment to achieve a higher surface quality. Moreover, it can be suggested that more functionalities of the cement-based materials can be tailored through the design and use of the silica-based hybrid materials. 相似文献
