- ItemOptical and chemical control of the wettability of nanoporous photoswitchable films(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022) Zhang, Zejun; Chen, Donghui; Mutruc, Dragos; Hecht, Stefan; Heinke, LarsWettability is a central surface property of functional thin films. Here, we present a nanoporous film made of an azobenzene-containing metal-organic framework material where the wettability is controlled by photoswitching of the fluorinated azobenzene moieties and by reversible incorporation of guest molecules with different polarities in the pores. Using both, the optical and the chemical stimuli, the water contact angle was modified over a wide range, from 23° to 97°.
- ItemInfluence of chemical interactions on the electronic properties of BiOI/organic semiconductor heterojunctions for application in solution-processed electronics(London [u.a.] : RSC, 2023) Lapalikar, Vaidehi; Dacha, Preetam; Hambsch, Mike; Hofstetter, Yvonne J.; Vaynzof, Yana; Mannsfeld, Stefan C. B.; Ruck, MichaelBismuth oxide iodide (BiOI) has been viewed as a suitable environmentally-friendly alternative to lead-halide perovskites for low-cost (opto-)electronic applications such as photodetectors, phototransistors and sensors. To enable its incorporation in these devices in a convenient, scalable, and economical way, BiOI thin films were investigated as part of heterojunctions with various p-type organic semiconductors (OSCs) and tested in a field-effect transistor (FET) configuration. The hybrid heterojunctions, which combine the respective functionalities of BiOI and the OSCs were processed from solution under ambient atmosphere. The characteristics of each of these hybrid systems were correlated with the physical and chemical properties of the respective materials using a concept based on heteropolar chemical interactions at the interface. Systems suitable for application in lateral transport devices were identified and it was demonstrated how materials in the hybrids interact to provide improved and synergistic properties. These indentified heterojunction FETs are a first instance of successful incorporation of solution-processed BiOI thin films in a three-terminal device. They show a significant threshold voltage shift and retained carrier mobility compared to pristine OSC devices and open up possibilities for future optoelectronic applications.
