AbstractNanocomposites of phenoxy-substituted vanadyl phthalocyanine with a t-conjugated polymer, poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline ladder), have been prepared from their Lewis acid complexes in organic solvents. The resulting composite thin films obtained by spin-coating have excellent optical transparency and interesting composition-dependent morphology and photoelectronic properties. Enhanced photoconductivity, compared to the components, was observed in some composites with discrete nanoscale metallophthalocyanine aggregates.

The mechanistic understanding of the intrinsic molecular self-assembly of conjugated polymers is of immense importance to control the microstructure development in organic semiconducting thin films, with a meaningful impact on charge transport and optoelectronic properties.

Thin films of metal phthalocyanines (M: Co, Zn, Ni) substituted with four 3,5-bis(2[Formula: see text],3[Formula: see text],4[Formula: see text],5[Formula: see text],6[Formula: see text]-pentafluorobenzyloxy)benzyloxy groups have been prepared by the spin-coating technique. Optical properties and surface morphology of the thin films of metallophthalocyanines have been investigated as a function of organic solvents of acetone, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. Results show that optical properties and surface morphology of the prepared films depend on the type of organic solvent used.

Ruthenium oxide, Manganese oxide and (Ru:Mn)O2 composite thin films have been prepared by 0.02M Ruthenium chloride and Manganese acetate solutions respectively on stainless steel substrates by sol-gel spin coating method. Layer by layer deposition of RuO2 and MnO2 was done for composite films. RuO2: MnO2 composite thin films have been demonstrated to be an excellent material for Supercapacitor application when evaluated with RuO2 and MnO2 thin film electrodes with respect to XRD, SEM, CV, CP and EIS studies. As a result, high specific capacitance of 515 F/g at 10 mV/s with excellent stability and long cycle life was obtained, where specific power and energy were as high as 15.38 Wh/kg and 4.06 KW/kg respectively with loading weight of 0.13 mg/cm2 .Composite films showed changes in structural and morphological features which was admiring for supercapacitor applications. The electrochemical impedance measurement was carried out in 0.1M KOH in the frequency range 10 to 105 Hz. From the analysis it can be concluded that mixed oxide composites have superior capacitive performance to single transition metal oxides as electrodes.

AbstractNovel electron-acceptor materials based on poly(thienylene ethynylene) derivatives (PTE-BT and PTE-DCNTB) were synthesized and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. Their thermal, electrochemical and optical properties were investigated. The π-conjugated polymers are soluble in common organic solvents. The maximum UV-Vis absorptions of PTE-BT and PTE-DCNTB in solution are observed at 460 and 390 nm, respectively. The electrochemical band gap was found to be 1.89 eV for PTE-BT and 2.01 eV for PTE-DCNTB. Both polymers are promising as electron-acceptor materials for photovoltaic applications.

ABSTRACTPolymeric thin film based electronic and optoelectronic materials and devices are attractive for potential space and certain radiation related applications due to their inherent features such as being light weight, flexible, biocompatible and environmental friendly, etc. Proton radiation is a major form of ionizing radiation in space, yet very few literature and data are available on proton radiation effects on conjugated polymer systems. In this study, UV-Vis absorption spectra of several conjugated polymers and/or their composite thin films were measured and compared right before and after a 200 MeV proton beam irradiation at different dosages, and the results revealed that proton radiation has very little or negligible impact up to 800 Rads on the optoelectronic properties of several polymers and their composite thin films.

AbstractFerroelectric composite thin films of x-SBT/PVDF with different SBT content (weight ratios of SBT to PVDF, x = 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %) were prepared by spin-coating method. The crystal structures of x-SBT/PVDF films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), respectively. Experimental results demonstrated that both α, β-phases PVDF and the layered perovskite SBT co-existed in the x-SBT/PVDF samples. With an increase of SBT content in the x-SBT/PVDF thin films, both the dielectric constant and the saturated polarization were also increased, compared with those of pure PVDF thin film. More importantly, when the SBT content in the x-SBT/PVDF thin films was larger than 15 %, the coercive field of x-SBT/PVDF thin films was also decreased.
