Solid-State Electrochromic Devices via Ionic Self-Assembled Multilayers (ISAM) of a Polyviologen

چکیده
A PV was synthesized by polymerization of N,N0-bis(d-aminopropyl)-4,40-bipyridinium bromide hydrobromide (APD) and isophthaloyl chloride (ISP). The PV was completely soluble in water as well as in organic solvents. The spectroelectrochemical and EC properties of the resulting ionic self-assembled multilayers of PV/poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) (PAMPs) were examined by cyclic voltammetry, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, optical switching and current density measurements. Solid state devices made of PV films sandwiched with PANI as a counter electrode have switching times of 100–250 ms. 40 Bilayer films of PV/PAMPs show high contrast (DT1⁄4 61%) in 0.1 M NaClO4 liquid electrolyte solution and CE as high as 57 cm C , one of the highest reported so far for any bipyridinium salt system.

Nanoscale patterning of ionic self-assembled multilayers.
Films that are nanostructured in all three dimensions can be fabricated by the templated growth of ionic self-assembled multilayers (ISAMs) on solids that have been patterned by nanografting. Nanografting was used to controllably pattern -COOH surface groups on a background of -OH groups. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirms that ISAM bilayers grow selectively on the -COOH groups and not on t...
متن کاملFabrication of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Fiber Probes Using Ionic Self-Assembled Gold Nanoparticles
An nm-thickness composite gold thin film consisting of gold nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes is fabricated through ionic self-assembled multilayers (ISAM) technique and is deposited on end-faces of optical fibers to construct localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) fiber probes. We demonstrate that the LSPR spectrum induced by ISAM gold films can be fine-tuned through the ISAM procedure. W...

Water-soluble sulfonated monomer based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT-sultone) was synthesized and characterized for the first time via the O-alkylation of the corresponding unreactive , -disubstituted hydroxyl group with propane sultone in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). This new monomer was oxidatively polymerized to produce regioregular wa...

We have compared the plasmonic enhancement of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties in two types of ionic self-assembled multilayer (ISAM) films combined with Ag nanoparticles fabricated using nanosphere lithography (NSL). The light-concentrating properties of the Ag particles lead to a marked increase in the NLO efficiencies of thin ISAM films. The induced enhancement is found to be ...
متن کاملHigh-contrast solid-state electrochromic devices of viologen-bridged polysilsesquioxane nanoparticles fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly.
Water-soluble silsesquioxane nanoparticles (NPs) incorporating viologen groups (PXV; 1,1'-bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-4,4'-bipyridinium iodide) have been synthesized by sol-gel polymerization. The electrochromic properties of the bulk film fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly have been examined, along with their incorporation into solid-state devices. The orange LbL films show high th...
