研究目的
To develop a new method to control the printability of inorganic ink for realising a high-performance inorganic printed photodetector (PD) by manipulating the surface morphology of the inkjet-printed nanoparticle film via using a low boiling point cosolvent ink solution.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a new approach to modulate the surface morphology of inkjet-printed nanoparticle films using low boiling point cosolvent ink solutions, leading to high-performance ZnO-based photodetectors with enhanced photo-responsivity and fast photo-response times. The porous structure, achieved through surface tension differences, significantly improves device performance.
研究不足
The study is limited by the challenges of controlling film morphology with low viscosity ink solutions and the need for post-processing to achieve optimal device performance. Additionally, the use of high boiling point solvents can lead to residual solvent issues affecting device stability and performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs inkjet printing to create ZnO-based photodetectors on flexible substrates, focusing on controlling film morphology through co-solvent vapor pressure and surface tension modulation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZnO nanoparticles and graphene flakes are used as active materials, with different solvent systems (EtOH/EG and EtOH/IPA) to investigate their effects on film morphology and device performance.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A drop-on-demand inkjet printer (Fujifilm Dimatix DMP-2800) with a 21 μm diameter nozzle is used. Materials include ZnO nanoparticles, graphene flakes, and various solvents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involves printing Ag electrodes, followed by layer-by-layer printing of ZnO and graphene inks, drying at room temperature in a vacuum desiccator, and annealing.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of photodetectors is evaluated based on photoresponsivity, response time, and Ilight/Idark ratio, with morphological analysis conducted using AFM and TEM.
