Perovskite/Poly(3-hexylthiophene)/Graphene Multiheterojunction Phototransistors with Ultrahigh Gain in Broadband Wavelength Region
Organometal halide perovskite materials
have attracted much attention
recently for their excellent optoelectronic properties. Here, we report
an ultrasensitive phototransistor based on the multiheterojunction
of CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>PbI<sub>3–<i>x</i></sub>Cl<sub><i>x</i></sub> perovskite/poly(3-hexylthiophene)/graphene
for the first time. Since the photoexcited electrons and holes are
effectively separated by the poly(3-hexylthiophene) layer, high-density
electrons are trapped in the perovskite layer, leading to a strong
photogating effect on the underlying graphene channel. The phototransistor
demonstrates an unprecedented ultrahigh responsivity of ∼4.3
× 10<sup>9</sup> A/W and a gain approaching 10<sup>10</sup> electrons
per photon, respectively. More importantly, the device is sensitive
in a broadband wavelength region from ultraviolet to near-infrared,
which has not yet been achieved with other perovskite photodetectors.
It is expected that the novel perovskite phototransistor will find
promising applications as photodetection and imaging devices in the
future
Solution-Processable Low-Voltage and Flexible Floating-Gate Memories Based on an n‑Type Polymer Semiconductor and High‑<i>k</i> Polymer Gate Dielectrics
High-performance low-voltage flash
memories based on organic floating-gate field-effect transistors are
prepared by a solution process for the first time. Transistors with
a high-mobility n-type polymer semiconductor, poly{[<i>N</i>,<i>N</i><sup>′</sup>-bis(2-octyldodecyl)naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-<i>alt</i>-5,5′-(2,2′-bithiophene)}, and a high-<i>k</i> polymer gate dielectric, poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene–chlorofluoroethylene)
(<i>k</i> ≈ 60), are successfully fabricated on flexible
substrates. A thin layer of Au nanoparticles is embedded in the gate
dielectric, which can store injected charge from the channel and result
in a memory effect. The organic memories demonstrate high carrier
mobilities (>0.3 cm<sup>2</sup>/(V s)), low program/erase voltages
(±6 V), little degradation after 10<sup>5</sup> program/erase
cycles, and good retention after 10<sup>5</sup> s, which suggest great
promise in the application of nonvolatile memories in flexible electronics
Porating Anion-Responsive Copolymeric Gels
A polymerizable ionic liquid surfactant,
1-(11-acryloyloxyundecyl)-3-methylimidiazolium
bromide (ILBr), was copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in
aqueous microemulsions at 30% (ILBr w/w) and various water to MMA
ratios. The ternary phase diagram of the ILBr/MMA/water system was
constructed at 25 and 60 °C. Homopolymers and copolymers of ILBr
and MMA were produced by thermally initiated chain radical microemulsion
polymerization at various compositions in bicontinuous and reverse
microemulsion subdomains. Microemulsion polymerization reaction products
varied from being gel-like to solid, and these materials were analyzed
by thermal and scanning electron microscopy methods. Microemulsion
polymerized materials were insoluble in all solvents tested, consistent
with light cross-linking. Ion exchange between Br<sup>–</sup> and PF<sub>6</sub><sup>–</sup> in these copolymeric materials
resulted in the formation of open-cell porous structures in some of
these materials, as was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). Several compositions illustrate the capture of prepolymerization
nanoscale structure by thermally initiated polymerization, expanding
the domain of compositions exhibiting this feat and yet to be demonstrated
in any other system. Regular cylindrical pores in interpenetrating
ILBr-<i>co</i>-MMA and PMMA networks are produced by anion
exchange in the absence of templates. A percolating cluster/bicontinuous
transition is “captured” by SEM after using anion exchange
to visualize the mixed cluster/pore morphology. Some design principles
for achieving this capture and for obtaining stimuli responsive solvogels
are articulated, and the importance of producing solvogels in capturing
the nanoscale is highlighted
Electrochemiluminescent Imaging for Multi-immunoassay Sensitized by Dual DNA Amplification of Polymer Dot Signal
A true-color electrochemiluminescent
(ECL) imaging strategy was
designed for a multi-immunoassay of proteins by coupling highly efficient
polymer dots (Pdots) with dual DNA amplification. The Pdots were prepared
by nanoprecipitation of poly[(9,9-dioctylfuorenyl-2,7-diyl)-<i>alt</i>-co-(1,4-benzo-{2,1′,3}-thiadiazole)] in the presence
of poly(styrene-<i>co</i>-maleic anhydride) and functionalized
with DNA1 that hybridized with black hole quencher-labeled DNA2 to
self-quench the ECL emission. The Pdots modified Au/ITO electrode
showed 100-fold stronger ECL emission than the Pdots modified ITO
electrode. After the capture antibody immobilized on Au/ITO slide
recognized the target protein and then reacted with biotin-labeled
antibody, streptavidin and biotin-labeled oligonucleotide, respectively,
a large number of DNA1 functionalized Pdots could be introduced onto
the slide surface by rolling circle amplification of the oligonucleotide
to trigger the enzymatically cyclic release of the Pdots from the
self-quenched probes to solution in the presence of Exo III. The dual
DNA amplification produced a greatly amplified ECL signal for true-color
ECL imaging. Using carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin-19-fragment,
and neuron-specific enolase as a lung cancer-specific biomarker panel,
the ECL imaging-based multi-immunoassay exhibited excellent performance
with a linear range of 1 pg mL<sup>–1</sup> to 500 ng mL<sup>–1</sup> and limits of detection of 0.17, 0.12, and 0.22 pg
mL<sup>–1</sup>, respectively. The proposed method could accurately
detect these biomarkers in clinical human serum samples for lung cancer
screening. The Pdots-based true-color ECL imaging approach possessed
the advantages of visual analysis along with wide detection range
and high sensitivity and thus has great potential in clinical application
Novel Calcium Oxide-Enhancement Phosphorus Recycling Technique through Sewage Sludge Pyrolysis
Municipal sewage
sludge is abundant and rich in phosphorus, making
it a promising alternative phosphorus reserve. A good knowledge of
the phosphorus transformation during pyrolysis will underlie the industrial
phosphorus recycling and reclamation of sewage sludge. This work first
advanced a novel calcium oxide (CaO)-enhancement phosphorus-recycling
technique based on pyrolysis of sewage sludge, by regulating the transformation
of phosphorus in sewage sludge during pyrolysis through the CaO addition.
The obtained results indicated that CaO addition promoted the formation
of hydroxylapatite, which is a desirable phosphorus species for plant
growth. The factors of pyrolysis temperature and inherent composition
of sewage sludge both influenced the fraction of hydroxylapatite during
pyrolysis. An increase in pyrolysis temperature and a sludge with
a high content of ash and a low content of volatile matters potentially
promoted the transformation of P from organic phosphorus to the inorganic
species during pyrolysis with the addition of CaO, particularly for
the formation of hydroxylapatite. Increasing CaO addition significantly
increased the fraction of hydroxylapatite in the obtained char, and
the maximum content of 25 wt % hydroxylapatite over total phosphorus
was attained. This enhanced transformation of hydroxylapatite may
be potentially attributed to the interaction between CaO and the polyphosphate
with the aid of the inherent minerals that appeared to benefit the
immobilization of phosphorus during sludge pyrolysis. As the formation
of hydroxylapatite was enhanced, this facile technology of CaO-enhancement
sewage sludge pyrolysis could be used for the direct recycling of
P as well as the disposal of sewage sludge
AC Measurements Using Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Accurate Sensing
Organic
electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been successfully employed
for a variety of applications , especially chemical and biological
sensing. Although the device response to analytes can be directly
monitored by measuring steady-state channel currents of the devices,
it is challenging to obtain stable signals with high signal-to-noise
ratios. In this work, we developed a novel method for electrochemical
sensing by measuring both the transconductance and the phase of the
AC channel current for the first time. Then we successfully realized
highly sensitive ion strength sensors and dopamine sensors based on
the AC method. Our results indicate that the AC method is more sensitive
than typical DC methods and can provide more stable data in sensing
applications. Considering that the sensors can be conveniently integrated
with AC circuits, this technology is expected to find broad applications
in the future
Neutral-Color Semitransparent Organic Solar Cells with All-Graphene Electrodes
Graphene has been considered as a promising material for transparent electrodes due to its advantages including ultrahigh carrier mobilities, high optical transmittance, excellent mechanical flexibility, and good stability. Solar cells with all-graphene electrodes are potentially low-cost, high-performance, and environmental friendly, which however have not been realized until now. Here, we report the fabrication of semitransparent organic photovoltaics (OPVs) with graphene transparent electrodes as both cathode and anode, which can absorb light from both sides with the power conversion efficiency up to 3.4%. Meanwhile, the OPVs have a neutral color and show the transmittance of ∼40% in the visible region, making them suitable for some special applications, such as power-generating windows and building integrated photovoltaics. This work demonstrates the great potential of graphene for the applications in carbon-based optoelectronic devices
Dynamics of Photogenerated Surface Charge on BiFeO<sub>3</sub> Films
We report on the spatial and temporal evolution of photoinduced charge generation and carrier separation in heteroepitaxial BiFeO<sub>3</sub> thin films deposited on Nb:SrTiO<sub>3</sub> as measured in ambient at room temperature with Kelvin probe and piezoresponse force microscopy. Contributions from the self-poled and ferroelectric polarization charge are identified from the time evolution of the correlated surface potential and ferroelectric polarization in films as grown and following poling, and at different stages and intensities of optical illumination. Variations in the surface potential with bias voltage, switching history, and illumination intensity indicate how both bulk ferroelectric photovoltaic and the domain wall offset potential mechanisms contribute to the photogenerated charge
