Photoactive Thin Films: Indoline-Based Molecular Engineering for Optimizing the Performance of Photoactive Thin Films (Adv. Funct. Mater. 38/2016)

Photoactive Thin Silver Films by Atmospheric Pressure CVD

We report the visible and UV activity of thin silver films. The films are grown using a CVD process employing aqueous-based silver precursors, flame-assisted chemical vapour deposition. This approach overcomes many of the previously encountered limitations to silver deposition by employing an atmospheric pressure process, low-cost and low-toxicity precursors. The resultant films are assessed fo...

Enhanced methanol sensing performance of oblique deposited WO3 thin films

Methanol (CH3OH) is a colorless liquid with a mild odor. The wide ranges of applications, toxicity and clinical implications of methanol have made necessary to develop reliable and high-performance methanol sensors. In this paper, WO3 thin films were deposited on SiO2/Si substrates by e-beam evaporation technique under normal and oblique angles and then post-annealed at 500 °C with a flow of ox...

Photoactive titania nanostructured thin films: Synthesis and characteristics of ordered helical nanocoil array

Titania nanostructured thin films have been prepared by anodization of titanium foils at different voltages in the 10–20 V range. They have been characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), UV–vis diffuse reflectance and current–time transients during the anodization process. The observed nanostructure differs from that reported...
