Abstract
Rechargeable metal-ion batteries (RMIBs) are prospective highly effective and low-cost devices for energy storage. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have become a subject of significant interest for commercial applications owing to their exceptional specific capacity and broad operational potential window as cathode materials for rechargeable metal-ion batteries. However, the limiting factors for its widespread use are its poor electrical conductivity and stability. The present study describes the direct and simple synthesis of 2D nanosheets of MnFCN (Mn3[Fe(CN)6]2·nH2O) on nickel foam (NF) via a successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) method, which provided more ion diffusion and electrochemical conductivity. MnFCN/NF exhibited exceptional cathode performance for RMIBs, delivering a high specific capacity of 1032 F/g at 1 A/g in an aqueous 1M NaOH electrolyte. Additionally, the specific capacitance reached the remarkable levels of 327.5 F/g at 1 A/g and 230 F/g at 0.1 A/g in 1M Na2SO4 and 1M ZnSO4 aqueous solutions, respectively.

Facile synthesis of Cu 2O nanorods in the presence of NaCl by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method and its characterizations. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2022; 9:211899. [PMID: 35360354 PMCID: PMC8965390 DOI: 10.1098/rsos.211899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanorods have been deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by the modified successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique by varying the concentration of NaCl electrolyte into the precursor complex solution. The structural, electrical and optical properties of synthesized Cu2O nanorod films have been studied by a variety of characterization tools. Structural analyses by X-ray diffraction confirmed the polycrystalline Cu2O phase with (111) preferential growth. Raman scattering spectroscopic measurements conducted at room temperature also showed characteristic peaks of the pure Cu2O phase. The surface resistivity of the Cu2O nanorod films decreased from 15 142 to 685 Ω.cm with the addition of NaCl from 0 to 4 mmol and then exhibited an opposite trend with further addition of NaCl. The optical bandgap of the synthesized Cu2O nanorod films was observed as 1.88-2.36 eV, while the temperature-dependent activation energies of the Cu2O films were measured as about 0.14-0.21 eV. Scanning electron microscope morphologies demonstrated Cu2O nanorods as well as closely packed spherical grains with the alteration of NaCl concentration. The Cu2O phase of nanorods was found stable up to 230°C corroborating the optical bandgap results of the same. The film fabricated in presence of 4 mmol of NaCl showed the lowest resistivity and activation energy as well as comparatively uniform nanorod morphology. Our studies demonstrate that the nominal presence of NaCl electrolytes in the precursor solutions has a significant impact on the physical properties of Cu2O nanorod films which could be beneficial in optoelectronic research.

Abstract
Methods for the fabrication of thin films with well controlled structure and properties are of great importance for the development of functional devices for a large range of applications. SILAR, the acronym for Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction, is an evolution and combination of two other deposition methods, the Atomic Layer Deposition and Chemical Bath Deposition. Due to a relative simplicity and low cost, this method has gained increasing interest in the scientific community. There are, however, several aspects related to the influence of the many parameters involved, which deserve further deepening. In this review article, the basis of the method, its application to the fabrication of thin films, the importance of experimental parameters, and some recent advances in the application of oxide films are reviewed. At first the fundamental theoretical bases and experimental concepts of SILAR are discussed. Then, the fabrication of chalcogenides and metal oxides is reviewed, with special emphasis to metal oxides, trying to extract general information on the effect of experimental parameters on structural, morphological and functional properties. Finally, recent advances in the application of oxide films prepared by SILAR are described, focusing on supercapacitors, transparent electrodes, solar cells, and photoelectrochemical devices.

Influence of the Substrate, Process Conditions, and Postannealing Temperature on the Properties of ZnO Thin Films Grown by the Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction Method. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:2665-2674. [PMID: 33553884 PMCID: PMC7860103 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.0c04837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Here, we report the effect of the substrate, sonication process, and postannealing on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of ZnO thin films grown in the presence of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at temperature 30-65 °C by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method on both soda lime glass (SLG) and Cu foil. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the preferential growth thin films along (002) and (101) planes of the wurtzite ZnO structure when deposited on SLG and Cu foil substrates, respectively. Both XRD and Raman spectra confirmed the ZnO and Cu-oxide phases of the deposited films. The scanning electron microscopy image of the deposited films shows compact and uniformly distributed grains for samples grown without sonication while using IPA at temperatures 50 and 65 °C. The postannealing treatment improves the crystallinity of the films, further evident by XRD and transmission and reflection results. The estimated optical band gaps are in the range of 3.37-3.48 eV for the as-grown samples. Our experimental results revealed that high-quality ZnO thin films could be grown without sonication using an IPA dispersant at 50 °C, which is much lower than the reported results using the SILAR method. This study suggests that in the presence of IPA, the SLG substrate results in better c-axis-oriented ZnO thin films than that of deionized water, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol at the optimum temperature of 50 °C. Air annealing of the samples grown on Cu foils induced the formation of Cu x O/ZnO junctions, which is evident from the characteristic I-V curve including the structural and optical data.
