The inner filter effect (IFE) for Mn2+luminescence of (ZnS:Mn)2·octylamine hybrid thin film was investigated and verified by detecting three selected environmental contaminant species, which indicated that it was a good IFE-based fluorescence sensor.

In this research, the effect of scan numbers of titania nanocrystals (TiO2 NCs) on the morphological and electrical characteristics of hybrid thin-films is investigated. These hybrid thin-films consist of a combination of organic (Piper Betle Linn extraction and Poly (3-hexytlthiophene) (P3HT)) and inorganic TiO2 NCs (anatase structure) materials. These hybrid thin-films are fabricated in bilayer heterojunction of ITO/TiO2 NCs/P3HT/Piper Betle Linn via electrochemistry method using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The scan numbers of TiO2 NCs are varied by 1, 3 and 5 number of scans. The morphological characterization is carried out via Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) meanwhile the electrical characteristic of the hybrid thin-film is measured by using four point probes. FESEM image indicates the particle size was found to be around 17-34 nm. The increment of scan number of TiO2 NCs from one to five scan numbers of TiO2 NCs in bilayers thin films showed that the atomic percentage of titanium decrease from 5.23% to 2.20%. This result indicates that as the thickness of thin films increases, the electrons required more energy to excite into conduction band of TiO2. Meanwhile, the electrical conductivities of hybrid solar cell increase from 0.385 Scm-1 to 0.389 Scm-1 as the scan numbers of TiO2 increase from one to three, however the electrical conductivity decrease to 0.346 Scm-1 at five scan numbers. As a conclusion, this study shows that the morphological and electrical properties of hybrid thin-films can be significantly affected by the scan number of TiO2 NCs.

Fe2O3/MWCNTs hybrid thin film exhibits superior electrochemical supercapacitor behaviour in terms of specific capacitance, energy density and power density than the individual Fe2O3 and MWCNTs thin films.

A series of photofunctional polymer hybrid thin films based on rare earth ion-functionalized MOFs have been synthesized and can display multi-colors (red, blue, blue-green and white). Interestingly, Tb0.999Eu0.001-2 thin film can be used as ratiometric luminescent thermometer in a wide temperature range.
