Influence of the supramolecular arrangement of iron phthalocyanine thin films on catecholamine oxidation
摘要： The versatility of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) to form distinct supramolecular arrangements in thin films, characterized by their thickness, molecular organization, morphology, and crystallinity, can be used to tune the electrochemical oxidation of catecholamines, becoming a promising material for sensing applications. Here, Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) and electrodeposition (ED) techniques have been used to produce thin films of FePc with different supramolecular arrangements on ITO electrodes. Both types of modified electrode were evaluated for the electrochemical oxidation of L-Dopa, dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NEp), and epinephrine (Ep) in aqueous solution. The effect of scan rate, potential range, presence of oxygen, and pH were also evaluated, having an influence on the electrochemical oxidation of catecholamines. The FePc/ED modified electrodes showed two distinct peaks in the presence of mixtures of DA/L-Dopa and DA/Ep, while for FePc/LS modified electrodes an overlap of the oxidation waves was observed. This behaviour reveals the influence of the supramolecular arrangement of FePc on catecholamine oxidation. The FePc/LS modified electrodes showed a limit of detection of 0.024 μmol L-1 for DA and 0.168 μmol L-1 for L-Dopa, while FePc/ED showed limits of detection of 0.288 μmol L-1 and 0.564 μmol L-1, respectively. The FePc films showed suitable properties for future application as catecholamine sensors.

Supramolecular arrangements of an organometallic forming nanostructured films
摘要： Drganometallic materials have become subject of intensive research on distinct technological applications. The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) techniques have proven to be suitable to address challenges inherent to organic devices, in which the film properties can be tuned at molecular level. Here, we report on the supramolecular arrangement of zinc(OO)-protoporphyrin(OX) dimethyl ester (ZnPPOX-DME) using the Langmuir, LB and LS techniques, leading to nanostructured films. The π-A isotherms showed that π-π stacking interaction among ZnPPOX-DME molecules takes place at the air/water interface, favoring the formation of Langmuir films closely packed. The controlled growth of the LB and LS films was monitored via UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, with the thickness per monolayer within 1.3 and 1.7 nm. The homogeneous topography found at microscale is no longer preserved at nanoscale, which is found rougher according to AFM data. The FTOR indicated that the ZnPPOX-DME is isotropically arranged on both LB and LS films.

Highly sensitive air stable easily processable gas sensors based on Langmuir-Schaefer monolayer organic field-effect transistors for multiparametric H <sub/>2</sub> S and NH <sub/>3</sub> real-time detection
摘要： A combination of low limit of detection, low power consumption and portability makes organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) chemical sensors promising for various applications in the areas of industrial safety control, food spoilage detection and medical diagnostics. However, the OFET sensors typically lack air stability and restoration capability at room temperature. Here we report on a new design of highly sensitive gas sensors based on Langmuir-Schaefer monolayer organic field-effect transistors (LS OFETs) prepared from organosilicon derivative of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-benzothiophene. The devices fabricated are able to operate in air and allows an ultrafast detection of different analytes at low concentrations down to tens ppb. The sensors are reusable and can be utilized in real-time air quality monitoring systems. We show that a direct current response of the LS OFET can be splitted into the alteration of various transistor parameters, responsible for the interactions with different toxic gases. The sensor response acquiring approach developed allows distinguishing two different gases, H2S and NH3, with a single sensing device. The results reported open new perspectives for the OFET-based gas-sensing technology and pave the way to easy detection of the other types of gases enabling the development of complex air analysis systems based on a single sensor.

Hybrid and pristine polyalkylthiophene Langmuir-Schaefer films: Relationships of electrical impedance spectroscopy measurements, barrier properties and polymer nanostructure
摘要： Molecular organization in solid state plays a central role on organic devices performance. In this sense, a thorough investigation of thin films with application in organic electronics is imperative. This work addressed the fabrication and the morphological, optical and electrical characterization of Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) films of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), pristine and mixed with stearic acid (SA), and their use as the active layer in organic Schottky diodes. The floating materials isotherms showed the SA molecules acting as a stabilizer for the P3HT in the Langmuir trough. Moreover, deposited P3HT:SA films present significant morphological changes, an improvement of the films overall structural ordering and a more effective charge transport within the active layer through electrical outcome. The alternating current measurements along with theoretical fitting, using equivalent electrical circuits, provided a good alternative to investigate the interfacial effects of the P3HT and P3HT:SA films deposited onto Al and Au electrodes.

Photoelectrochemically Active N‐Adsorbing Ultrathin TiO <sub/>2</sub> Layers for Water‐Splitting Applications Prepared by Pyrolysis of Oleic Acid on Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Surfaces under Nitrogen Environment
摘要： Highly performing photocatalytic surfaces are nowadays highly desirable in energy fields, mainly due to their applicability as photo water-splitting electrodes. One of the current challenges in this field is the production of highly controllable and efficient photoactive surfaces on many substrates. Atomic layer deposition has allowed the deposition of photoactive TiO2 layers over wide range of materials and surfaces. However, nitrogen doping of the growing layers, a highly effective way of controlling the absorption edges of photoactive surfaced, is still a challenging task. Here, the preparation of hierarchical nanostructured surfaces based on Langmuir–Schaefer and atomic layer deposition is proposed. Ultrathin TiO2 layers that are photoelectrochemically active in water splitting are prepared by a relatively low-temperature catalytic decomposition of oleic acid capping layers of iron oxide nanoparticles and the posterior nitrogen adsorption. The results evidence that simple N-adsorption is sufficient to narrow the bandgap of TiO2 layers that is equal to bandgap narrowing (0.12 eV) observed for substitutionally N-doped materials. The photocatalytic activity tests of the prepared surfaces in water-splitting applications demonstrate ≈90% increase in the activity of the N-adsorbing TiO2 layers.

Influence of the Supramolecular Arrangement in the Electrical Conductivity of Poly(thiophene) Thin Films
摘要： Thin ?lms of regioregular polythiophene derivatives have had their optical, structural and morphological properties characterized, but there is still a lack of comparative studies to determine the effect from deposition techniques, especially on the electrical properties. In this study, we produced Langmuir-Schaefer and spin-coated ?lms of regioregular alkyl-substituted polythiophene derivatives (P3AT) to investigate how distinct supramolecular arrangements can affect their properties. The Langmuir-Schaefer ?lms deposited on indium-tin oxide substrates were observed to grow linearly with the number of layers, according to UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy and Brewster angle microscopy were carried out for morphological characterization. From electrical transport measurements, the DC electrical conductivity of Langmuir-Schaefer ?lms of P3AT was higher than the corresponding spin-coated ?lms, which can be related to the dissimilar roughness and molecular-level organization provided by the Langmuir-Schaefer technique.

H2S and NH3 Detection with Langmuir-Schaefer Monolayer Organic Field-Effect Transistors
摘要： In this work gas sensing properties of Langmuir-Schaefer monolayer organic field-effect transistors (LS OFETs) prepared from organosilicon derivative of [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-benzothiophene (BTBT) have been investigated. The monolayer has been deposited using Langmuir-Schaefer method, which results in a uniform low-defect monolayer with excellent electrical performance, hole mobility up to 7 × 10?2 cm2 V?1 s?1, the threshold voltage around 0 V and on-off ratio of 104. Developed sensors demonstrate a long-term stability of a half-year storage under ambient conditions. Preliminary investigations demonstrated that the LS OFETs give instantaneous response on ammonia and hydrogen sulfide at low concentrations. The results reported open new perspectives for the OFET-based gas-sensing technology.
