In this work, we implemented liquid exfoliation to inkjet-print two-dimensional (2D) black phosphorous (BP) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) p–n heterojunctions on a standard indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate in a vertical architecture. We also compared the optical and electrical properties of the inkjet-printed BP layer with that of the MoS2 and the electrical properties of the mechanically exfoliated MoS2 with that of the inkjet-printed MoS2. We found significant differences in the optical characteristics of the inkjet-printed BP and MoS2 layers attributed to the differences in their underlying crystal structure. The newly demonstrated liquid exfoliated and inkjet-printed BP–MoS2 2D p–n junction was also compared with previous reports where mechanically exfoliated BP–MoS2 2D p–n junction were used. The electronic transport properties of mechanically exfoliated MoS2 membranes are typically better compared to inkjet-printed structures but inkjet printing offers a cost-effective and quicker way to fabricate heterostructures easily. In the future, the performance of inkjet-printed structures can be further improved by employing suitable contact materials, amongst other factors such as modifying the solvent chemistries. The architecture reported in this work has potential applications towards building solar cells with solution processed 2D materials in the future.

This study describe the effect of temperature on the opticalproperties of nickel(ii) phthalocyanine tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodiumsalt (NiPcTs) organic thin films which are prepared by spin coatingon indium tin oxide (ITO-glass). The optical absorption spectra ofthese thin films are measured. Present studies reveal that the opticalband gap energies of NiPcTs thin films are dependent on theannealing temperatures. The optical band gap decreases with increasein annealing temperature, then increased when the temperature risingto 473K. To enhance the results of Uv-Vis measurements and getmore accurate values of optical energy gaps; the Photoluminescencespectra of as-deposited and annealed NiPcTs thin films was studied.FTIR measurements for NiPcTs thin films also carried out in thiswork and gave good information about the NiPcTs bonds and itslocations as a compared with H2Pc as a reference.

The nanoporous Co 3 O 4 thin films were prepared on indium tin oxide (ITO) glasses by an electrodeposition method. The surface morphology and composition of the nanoporous Co 3 O 4 films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the as-deposited nanoporous Co 3 O 4 film is constructed by many interconnected nanoflakes with thickness of about 40 nm. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement indicates that the nanoporous Co 3 O 4 films exhibit remarkable electrocatalytic activities for the hydrogen peroxide ( H 2 O 2) reduction which shows that it is a good candidate to be employed as electrode materials for electrochemical sensing of H 2 O 2. Further analysis indicated that the detection sensitivity of the sensor was 1.357 mA mM-1 cm-2 and the detection limit was estimated to be about 0.2 mM.

AbstractIndium tin oxide is the most basic transparent electrode material for all flat panel displays. Commercial ITO glass is manufactured mostly by sputtering. Here, we report the use of pulsed laser deposition to produce ITO thin films on glass at room temperature. Several interesting properties of such films were observed. (1) It was found that the resistivity of 0.5mΩ-cm compared very well with the best published values produced at high deposition temperatures. Room temperature deposition affords the possibility of using plastics and other flexible substrates for displays. (2) The microstructure of these ITO films were quite different from those of commercial ITO glasses. (3) By passing a strong current through the film, a large thermally induced Δnl could be observed. This change was due to lateral stress and could be as large as 1μ m for a 1-μm thick film. An electro-optic shutter can easily be designed with such films. Applications of this electronically controlled Δnl to display technology are discussed.

Abstract Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most important transparent conducting electrode to date and the candidate for ultrafast signal processing in telecommunication region. ITO is normally selectively removed in a multiple-steps process for device application. In this work, we aimed to study single pulse removal of ITO-coated glass and PET by using a nanosecond (ns) laser (266 nm) and a femtosecond (fs) laser (1,025 nm) where each process is dominated by either linear or nonlinear process. For ns laser, ITO was removed from PET substrate at 0.01 J/cm2. Detachment likely occurred via thermal-induced process because of the high absorption by both ITO and PET and the thermomechanical properties of PET. At higher laser fluence (∼0.04 J/cm2), the ITO films on both substrates were damaged, and at 1.34 J/cm2, ITO was ablated from the glass substrate. For fs laser removal via nonlinear process, ITO was removed from PET substrate at 0.3 J/cm2, but at 0.8 J/cm2, the PET substrate was also modified. ITO layer was partially removed from glass substrate by fs laser pulse at 0.3 J/cm2 and full removal only occurred at 1.7 J/cm2. Thus, the fluence range for single fs pulse removal of ITO/PET was 0.3–0.8 J/cm2 and >1.7 J/cm2 for ITO/glass.

The tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films on the indium tin oxide (ITO) glass in this study were produced by applying the electrodeposition method (ED). This method involves adjusting ED time to control the structure, film thickness, and morphology of WO3thin films. Furthermore, the crystallization of the WO3thin films was controlled by annealing them at 200 °C and 500 °C. The results show that the WO3coated glass with non-annealed and annealed at 200 °C has a high transmittance of visible light and anti-infrared characteristics. However, the WO3coated glass annealed at 500 °C has high infrared transmittance, with the highest infrared transmittance reaching 85% at the 1000 nm wavelength. To improve the heat collecting efficiency of solar water heaters, the high infrared WO3coated glass can be applied to the surface of the heat collecting component.

A flexible carbon thin film was prepared by laser induced when phase changing of polyimide thin film. There is no substrate for this thin film. It could be curved at any angle. The electron emission properties of the prepared thin film were measured by a diode mechanism; the thin film was used as a cathode and indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass as an anode. The turn-on field of the thin film was about 2.1 V/µm. The current density of the thin film was about 150 µA/cm2 at the electric field of 4.5 V/µm. The electron emission measurements indicate that the thin film could be a good candidate electron emission material in flat panel display or be used as other electron source. The morphology and structure of the thin film were investigated by optical microscope and Raman spectroscopy.
