Use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) together with light microscopy (LM) provides an ideal opportunity for studying the initial growth of wrinkles on polypyrrole films. In situ experiments, where continuous AFM image data acquisition was carried out during growth of thin polypyrrole films on indium–tin oxide (ITO) anodes, proved unsuccessful because the height changes occurring during the depos...

We have developed and tested transparent microelectrode arrays capable of simultaneous amperometric measurement of oxidizable molecules and fluorescence imaging through the electrodes. Surface patterned microelectrodes were fabricated from three different conducting materials: Indium-tin-oxide (ITO), nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) deposited on top of ITO, or very thin (12-17 nm) gold ...

The mechanisms governing the modification of optoelectronic properties low carrier concentration indium tin oxide (ITO) during reactive laser annealing (ReLaA) are investigated. ReLA combines advantages ambient thermal and annealing; utilizing processing room-temperature sputtered ITO thin films in pressurized environments to probe films’ crystal structure defect composition. Advanced ellipsome...

A low temperature (<100 °C), flexible solar cell based on an organic-inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite-fullerene planar heterojunction (PHJ) is successfully demonstrated. In this manuscript, we study the effects of energy level offset between a solar absorber (organic-inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite) and the selective contact materials on the photovoltaic behaviors of the planar org...

In the present work, gold nanoparticles/indium tin oxide (AuNPs/ITO) thin films were analyzed for pH sensing application based on extended gate field-effect transistor (EGFET). The AuNPs synthesized through pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) technique. Afterwards, deposited onto ITO film by electrospinning method. characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV–Vis spectro...

We report the preparation of solution-derived metal oxide nanocomposite films by combining polyoxometalates (POMs) and colloidal oxide nanocrystals. Polyniobates and vanadates were combined with Sn-doped In2O3 (ITO) nanocrystals leading to Nb2O5–ITO, V2O5–ITO and VO2–ITO nanocomposite films. Compared to other solution-phase methodologies, this approach offers excellent control of the nanoinclus...
