Oligothiophene‐Based Phosphonates for Surface Modification of Ultraflat Transparent Conductive Oxides

Nanoscale Transparent Conductive Oxides

High mobility annealing of Transparent Conductive Oxides

To improve electrical properties a high temperature annealing treatment was applied to several transparent conductive oxides (TCO), namely tin doped indium oxide (ITO), Gaor Aldoped ZnO (ZnO:Al/Ga), ion beam assisted deposited (IBAD) ZnO:Ga and Ga doped zinc magnesium oxide (ZnMgO:Ga). All these films were grown by magnetron sputtering. During the annealing process all TCO films were capped wit...

Efficient conversion of arylene precursors into photoluminescent phosphonates for surface modification of metal oxides.

Three highly fluorescent phosphonates have been prepared in good yields from different arylene bridged 5-iodothiophenes by following an optimized four-step procedure. The compounds have been immobilised on mesoporous zirconia, alumina and titania particles in order to probe their luminescence properties on the surfaces. The organic compounds as well as the obtained hybrid materials have been ch...

Conductive Polythiophene Nanoparticles Deposition on Transparent PET Substrates: Effect of Modification with Hybrid Organic-inorganic Coating (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this work, Poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) substrate was treated using KOH solution and was modified using hybrid O-I coating containing PCL )polycaprolactone( as organic phase and TEOS )tetraethoxysilane( as inorganic phase. The coating was prepared through a sol-gel process and applied on the surface by dip coater. Then, electrically conducting polythiophene (PTh) nanoparticles were depo...
