Deposition of TiO <sub/>2</sub> photocatalyst on polyethylene terephthalate or polyimide polymer films by reactive sputtering for flexible photocatalytic sheets
摘要： Polycrystalline anatase TiO2 films were deposited by rf reactive magnetron sputtering on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyimide (PI) films with different buffer layers, such as SiO2 or Zn2SnOx (ZTO) between the TiO2 film and the substrate. Such TiO2/(SiO2 or ZTO)/(PET or PI) sheets with high transmittance in the visible region of light performed high photo-decomposition ability of CH3CHO under the UV irradiation of the black light centered at 352 nm. In the case of using SiO2 as the buffer layer, “nano-pore layer” was observed clearly in full area of the polymer substrates close to the buffer layers after the UV irradiation, whereas such degradation was suppressed drastically in the case of using ZTO as the buffer layer. Such photocatalytic sheets performed also photo-induced hydrophilicity by the UV irradiation, where the contact angle to pure water became around 5O under the UV irradiation. After additional deposition of SiO2 by the reactive sputtering under rather high total gas pressure of 3.0 Pa on the outermost surface of the TiO2 films, the photo-induced hydrophilicity was maintained for more than 98 days in the dark. Such 3-layerd SiO2/TiO2/ZTO on PET or PI substrates should be the promising flexible photocatalytic sheets with the retentional photo-induced hydrophilicity.

Using a nanosecond laser to pattern copper nanowire-based flexible electrodes: From simulation to practical application
摘要： Copper nanowire (Cu NW) electrodes have shown promise for use in next-generation transparent conducting films due to their high electrical conductivity, low-cost solution-based synthesis processes, and high transmittance properties. Recently, the use of lasers for the modification of nanostructures has received considerable attention. Despite the advantages of laser machining such as producing any shape in an accurate, time-saving, non-contact process, the laser patterning of Cu NW electrodes has not been extensively studied, particularly the heat effect of the laser irradiation process on the flexible substrate. In this report, we present experimental and computational results of a selective and direct patterning process by using nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation. The experimental and simulation results were used to optimize the laser ablation parameters for the patterning process of the ultra-long Cu NW transparent electrodes so as to not damage the flexible substrates. Finally, a bifunctional flexible smart-window was fabricated to demonstrate a practical application of the laser-patterned Cu NW electrodes.

High-performance amorphous BeZnO-alloy-based solar-blind ultraviolet photodetectors on rigid and flexible substrates
摘要： In this study, the bandgap of ternary alloy BeZnO was modulated to make the material applicable to solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) radiation detection. This was done by preparing amorphous films with high Be doping contents on rigid c-sapphire and flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalene (PEN) substrates. After depositing a pair of parallel Al electrodes, amorphous BeZnO-alloy-based solar-blind UV photodetectors (PDs) with peak responsivity occurring at around 230 nm were constructed and their cut-off wavelengths are less than 284 nm. The PDs constructed on three substrates exhibit extremely low dark currents of 58.7 pA, 2.9 pA, and 1.8 pA, respectively. Time-dependent photoresponse cycling confirmed devices reproducible, and sensitive to solar-blind UV radiation. More importantly, the devices exhibited fast response speeds with rise times of approximately 40 ms and particularly fast recovery speeds with decay times of approximately 10 ms. Our research provides a method of constructing high-performance PDs on various substrates. And constructing amorphous solar-blind UV PDs on flexible substrate in this work is expected to be guiding significance to the design of PDs with deformability.

Integration of RF rectenna with thin film solar cell to power wearable electronics
摘要： This paper reports an integration of dual band microstrip antenna with thin film amorphous silicon solar cell which creates a wearable system to harvest microwave energy. The multiple layers in the encapsulation of the thin film solar cell are used as a substrate for microstrip antenna. The rectifier and matching circuit are designed on cotton jeans material and the whole system is mechanically supported by the foam of 5 mm thick. The performance of the antenna is studied for the mechanical bending condition. The device has maintained good power conversion efficiency. The efficiency of the voltage doubler is tested by varying radio frequency power levels from ?30 to10 dBm. The voltage doubler conversion efficiency at 1.85 and 2.45 GHz are 58 and 43%, respectively, for a load of 7.5 kΩ for an input power level of ?5 dBm.

Facile Fabrication of Semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Patterns on Flexible Substrate Based on a Photoimmobilization Technique
摘要： Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted significant attention due to their outstanding properties. For their wide applications in electronics and optoelectronics, pure semiconducting SWCNTs (s-SWCNTs) and their precise placement are preconditions. Recent advances have focused on developing effective strategies to separate s-SWCNTs from raw SWCNTs, a mixture of metallic and semiconducting SWCNTs, and deposit s-SWCNTs on target substrates. Herein, a polyfluorene-based alternative copolymer (PFBP) containing benzophenone group was employed. PFBP achieved higher yield for s-SWCNTs than the well-studied poly(9,9-dioctylfluore) (PFO) through solution process. Subsequently, the dispersed s-SWCNTs were immobilized on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in a facile manner by photoreactive benzophenone group upon exposure to UV irradiation and chemically robust patterns were fabricated from micro to macro scales through photomasks. Our method accomplished by utilizing photoimmobilization is a simple cleaning procedure and an important step forward in pitch scaling for further applications of conjugated polymer wrapped s-SWCNTs.

A highly flexible and selective dopamine sensor based on Pt-Au nanoparticle-modified laser-induced graphene
摘要： A highly flexible and selective electrochemical sensor based on a Pt-Au nanoparticles (Pt-AuNPs) modified laser-induced graphene (LIG)/Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) electrode is presented for the detection of dopamine (DA). The Pt-AuNPs exhibited high electrocatalytic activity in response to the oxidation of DA, and the peak current of DA detected by the Pt-AuNPs/LIG/PDMS electrode linearly increased with DA concentration. The fabricated sensor also exhibited an excellent sensitivity of approximately 865.80 μA/mM cm?2 and a detection limit of 75 nM in a neutral solution. In addition, it showed high selectivity for interfering compounds such as like uric acid (UA) and ascorbic acid (AA). Clearly defined current peaks, with a separation of approximately 0.11 V, were observed for DA and UA. Finally, DA was successfully detected in human urine.

Solution-processed one-dimensional CsCu <sub/>2</sub> I <sub/>3</sub> nanowires for polarization-sensitive and flexible ultraviolet photodetectors
摘要： Polarization-sensitive ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors are highly desired due to their great significance in many applications. As the newly-emerging functional semiconductors, the metal-halide perovskites have attracted huge attention in photodetection due to their excellent optoelectronic features. However, the ever-reported perovskites polarized photodetectors mainly focused on the visible/infrared-light region, and the devices targeted at the UV region have not been reported. Here, for the first time, ternary copper halides CsCu2I3 nanowire was used as the light absorber to achieve polarization-sensitive UV photodetection. By combining the intrinsic anisotropy of the asymmetry structure and external morphology anisotropy of CsCu2I3 nanowires, a record photocurrent anisotropy ratio of ~3.16 was achieved, and also the shortcomings of lead-toxicity and environmental instability for conventional lead-halide perovskites were overcome effectively. Moreover, such photodetectors fabricated on flexible substrate demonstrate good flexibility and stability, showing almost no photoresponse degradation after extremely bending for 1000 cycles. The results suggest that the lead-free CsCu2I3 nanowire is potentially an attractive candidate for high-performance polarization-sensitive UV photodetectors compatible for practical applications.

A robust SiC nanoarray blue-light photodetector
摘要： Silicon carbide (SiC) is recognized as one of the most important candidates of third generation semiconductors with totally superior physical/chemical properties and exciting applications in opto/electronic devices. In the present work, we report the exploration of high-performance blue-light photodetectors on both rigid and flexible substrates by using SiC nanoarrays, which are aligned by dielectrophoresis. The rise and decay times of the photodetector assembled on a rigid (i.e., SiO2/Si) substrate are B0.39 and 0.56 s, respectively, with an external quantum e?ciency of 3394%, which suggested that the SiC nanoarray photodetector has high sensitivity, fast responsivity and excellent reproducibility to light irradiation with a wavelength of 445 nm. Meanwhile, 73% of the maximum photocurrent response can be maintained after 6 months. Furthermore, the as-constructed flexible photodetector based on the polyethylene terepthalate (PET) substrate was highly stable against repeated bending, demonstrating that the as-constructed SiC photodetector was robust with high flexibility and electrical stability.

Femtosecond and nanosecond laser sintering of silver nanoparticles on a flexible substrate
摘要： Pulsed-laser sintering of metal nanoparticles on flexible substrates has attracted increasing attention owing to its potential in direct printing of high-resolution patterns or fabricating flexible devices on thermally weak substrates. However, the physics of pulsed-laser sintering, including the microstructures, properties, and their correlations in different processing regimes, is not yet clearly understood. Especially, the characteristics of ultrafast laser sintering using femtosecond laser pulses without the heat accumulation effect and their comparison with those of nanosecond laser sintering are still unclear. This work analyzed the silver nanoparticle sintering process on polyethylene terephthalate substrates using a KrF nanosecond excimer laser and a Ti: sapphire femtosecond laser. The two laser sources with substantially different pulse widths were compared in terms of the sintering mechanisms, electrical conductivity, flexibility, and adhesion strength of the sintered silver films. Under optimal conditions, femtosecond laser sintering yielded better electrical conductivity and flexibility than nanosecond laser sintering. The nanosecond laser sintering occurred by solid-state diffusion (surface necking) or by full melting of the particles depending on the process condition. On the other hand, the femtosecond laser sintering took place only by inter-particle necking because the polymer substrate was damaged before melting of the particle began.
