Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Thin Film Zener Diodes from Conducting Polymers and CdSe Nanoparticles

Cassagneau, Thierry, Mallouk, Thomas E., Fendler, Janos H.·1998·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Ultrathin films have been prepared by self-assembling trioctylphosphine oxide, TOPO, capped n-type 20−40 Å diameter CdSe nanoparticles and 1,6-hexadecanethiol, HDT, onto p-doped semiconducting polymers, chemically deposited poly(3-methylthiophene), PMeT (for Device A ), and electrochemically deposited poly(pyrrole), Ppy (for Device B ). The semiconducting polymers have, in turn, been electrochemically layered (for Device A ) or layer-by-layer chemically assembled (for Device B ) onto derivatized conducting substrates. The ultrathin films have been characterized by absorption and emission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and by electrochemical measurements. By controlling the level of doping into the p-type junction, it was possible to prepare dissymmetrical junctions and observe a rectifying behavior in the forward direction and a Zener breakdown in the reverse direction for Au/PMeT/(HDT/CdSe) 3, Device A, and for Au/MEA/Ppy/(HDT/CdSe) 3, Device B . Additionally, Au/MeA/PAH/CdSe (PAH = poly(allylamine hydrochloride)), Au/MEA/Ppy/PSS/CdSe (PSS = polystyrene sulfonate), and Au/MEA/Ppy/α-ZrP/CdSe (α-ZrP = α zirconium phosphate) films have been prepared and characterized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
