Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 18Ultrahigh Vacuum Self-Assembly of Rotationally Commensurate C8-BTBT/MoS2 Mixed-Dimensional Heterostructures(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019-02-12) Liu, Xiaolong; Balla, Itamar; Sangwan, Vinod K.; Usta, Hakan; Facchetti, Antonio; Marks, Tobin J.; Hersam, Mark C.Mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures combine the advantages of nanomaterials with qualitatively distinct properties such as the extended bandstructures and high charge carrier mobilities of inorganic two-dimensional materials and the discrete orbital energy levels and strong optical absorption of zero-dimensional organic molecules. The synergistic interplay between nanomaterials of distinct dimensionality has enabled a variety of unique applications such as antiambipolar transistors, sensitized photodetectors, and gate-tunable photovoltaics. Because the performance of mixed-dimensional heterostructure devices depends sensitively on the buried interfacial structure, it is of great interest to identify materials and chemistries that naturally form highly ordered heterointerfaces. Toward this end, here we demonstrate ultrahigh vacuum self-assembly of 2,7-dioctyl[1]benzothieno [3,2-b][1]benzothiophene (C8-BTBT) monolayers onto epitaxial MoS2/graphene heterostructures. With molecular-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, the resulting C8-BTBT/MoS2/graphene mixed-dimensional heterostructures are found to be rotationally commensurate with well-defined physical and electronic structures. It is further shown that the self-assembled C8-BTBT monolayers are insensitive to the structural defects and electronic perturbations of the underlying MoS2 substrate, which provides significant processing latitude. For these reasons, this work will facilitate ongoing efforts to utilize organic/MoS2/graphene mixed-dimensional heterostructures for electronic, optoelectronic, and photovoltaic applications.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Three-Dimensional Au-Coated Electrosprayed Nanostructured BODIPY Films on Aluminum Foil as Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Platforms and Their Catalytic Applications(Amer Chemical Soc, 2017-05-16) Yilmaz, Mehmet; Erkartal, Mustafa; Ozdemir, Mehmet; Sen, Unal; Usta, Hakan; Demirel, GokhanThe design and development of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures with high surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performances have attracted considerable attention in the fields of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Nevertheless, electrospraying of organic smalt molecules on low-cost flexible substrates has never been studied to realize large-scale SERS-active platforms. Here, we report the facile, efficient, and low-cost fabrication of-Stable and reproducible Au-coated electrosprayed organic semiconductor films (Au@BDY-4TEBDY) on flexible regular aluminum foil at a large scale (5 cm X 5 cm) for practical SERS and catalytic applications. To this end, a well-designed-acceptor-donor-atceptor-type solution-processable molecular semiconductor, BDY-4T-BDY, developed by our group, is used because of its advantageous structural and electrical properties. The morphology of the electrosprayed organic film changes by solution concentration, and two different 3D morphologies with out-of-plane features are obtained. Highly uniform dendritic nanoribbons with sharp needle-like tips and vertically oriented nanoplates (similar to 50 nm thickness) are achieved when electrospraying solution concentrations of 240 and 253% w/v.(mgimL) are, respectively, used. When these electrosprayed organic films are coated with a nanoscopic thin (30 nm) Au layer, the resulting Au@BDY-4T-BDY platforms demonstrate remarkable SERS enhancement factors up to 1.7 X 10(6) with excellent Raman signal reproducibility (relative standard deviation <= 0.13) for methylene blue over the entire film. Finally, Au@BDY-4T-BDY films showed good catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol with rate constants of 1.3 X 10(-2) and 9.2 X 10(-3) min(-1). Our results suggest that electrospraying of rationally designed organic semiconductor molecules on flexible substrates holds great promise to enable low-cost, solution-processed, SERS-active platforms.Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 74Solution-Processable Bodipy-Based Small Molecules for Semiconducting Microfibers in Organic Thin-Film Transistors(Amer Chemical Soc, 2016-05-23) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Choi, Donghee; Kwon, Guhyun; Zorlu, Yunus; Cosut, Bunyemin; Kim, Hyekyoung; Usta, HakanElectron-deficient pi-conjugated small molecules can function as electron-transporting semiconductors in various optoelectronic applications. Despite their unique structural, optical, and electronic properties, the development of BODIPY-based organic semiconductors has lagged behind that of other pi-deficient units. Here, we report the design and synthesis of two novel solution-proccessable BODIPY-based small molecules (BDY-3T-BDY and BDY-4T-BDY) for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The new semiconductors were fully characterized by H-1/C-13 NMR, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization of a key intermediate reveals crucial structural properties. Solution-sheared top-contact/bottom-gate OTFTs exhibited electron mobilities up to 0.01 cm(2)/V center dot s and current on/off ratios of >10(8). Film microstructural and morphological characterizations indicate the formation of relatively long (similar to 0.1 mm) and micrometer-sized (1-2 mu m) crystalline fibers for BDY-4T-BDY-based films along the shearing direction. Fiber-alignment-induced charge-transport anisotropy (mu?/mu approximate to 10) was observed, and higher mobilities were achieved when the microfibers were aligned along the conduction channel, which allows for efficient long-range charge-transport between source and drain electrodes. These OTFT performances are the highest reported to date for a BODIPY-based molecular semiconductor, and demonstrate that BODIPY is a promising building block for enabling solution-processed, electron-transporting semiconductor films.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Solid-State Encapsulation and Color Tuning in Films of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for White Light Generation(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019-01-30) Torun, Ilker; Altintas, Yemliha; Yazici, Ahmet Faruk; Mutlugun, Evren; Onses, M. SerdarPerovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are highly demanding nanomaterials for solid-state lighting applications. A challenge for their exploitation in practical applications is the insufficient ambient and water stability associated with their ionic nature. Here we report a novel route for solid-state encapsulation of films of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) through vapor-phase deposition of a thin and hydrophobic layer of fluoroalkyltrichlorosilanes (FAS). High quality nanoscale crystals of CsPbBr3 were synthesized with well established colloidal methods and coated on solid substrates. The films of PNCs were then subjected to vapor of FAS for short durations of time (<60 s) in ambient atmosphere, resulting in deposition of a thin (<20 nm) hydrophobic layer. Besides providing a barrier for water and humidity, the vapor-phase deposition of FAS was accompanied by the blue shift of the emission wavelength of the PNCs. The color shift results from the partial exchange of Br with Cl anions, which emerge during the self-hydrolysis of the silane molecules. Throughout this process, we demonstrate the enhanced water stability of the films of PNCs and fine tunability of the wavelength in films from 516 nm to 488 nm. The fabrication of a white-light-emitting diode and tunability of the color coordinates with the duration of the FAS deposition were demonstrated. The rapid, scalable, and inexpensive solid-state encapsulation approach shows great promise for films of halide perovskites.Conference Object Selective Dye Uptake From Aqueous Industrial Waste Mixtures by Novel Covalent Organic Frameworks(Amer Chemical Soc, 2015) Filikci, Semra; Ulasan, Mehmet; Citir, Murat; Yavuz, MustafaConference Object Removal of Organic Solvents From Aqueous Waste Mixtures by Novel Covalent Organic Frameworks(Amer Chemical Soc, 2015) Ulasan, Mehmet; Filikci, Semra; Citir, Murat; Yavuz, MustafaArticle Citation - WoS: 54Citation - Scopus: 58Proton Conducting Self-Assembled Metal-Organic Framework/Polyelectrolyte Hollow Hybrid Nanostructures(Amer Chemical Soc, 2016-08-29) Sen, Unal; Erkartal, Mustafa; Kung, Chung-Wei; Ramani, Vijay; Hupp, Joseph T.; Farha, Omar K.Herein, a room temperature chemical process to synthesize functional, hollow nanostructures from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) and poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) is reported. Syntheses are initiated by physically blending the components a process that is accompanied first by encapsulation of ZIF-8 crystallites by PVPA and then by fragmentation of the crystallites. The fragmentation process is driven by partial displacement of the methyl-imidazolate ligands of Zn(II) in ZIF-8 by phosphonate groups on PVPA. Differences in rates of diffusion for the components of the reactive mixture yield a Kirkendall-like effect that is expressed as a hollow-particle morphology. The obtained hollow nanostructures feature hybrid shells containing PVPA, ZIF-8, and their cross-reacted products. The hybrid structures display substantial proton conductivities that increase with increasing temperature, even under the anhydrous conditions prevailing at temperatures above the boiling point of water. For example, at T = 413 K the proton conductivity of ZIF-8@PVPA reaches 3.2 (+/- 0.12) x 10(-3) S cm(-1), a value comparatively higher than that for PVPA (or ZIF-8) in isolation. The high value may reflect the availability in the hybrid structures of free (and partially free), amphoteric imidazole species, and their hydrogen-bonding interactions with phosphonate and/or phosphonic acid units. The persistence of ample conductivity at high temperature reflects the elimination of phosphonic acid group dehydration and dimerization-an effect that strikingly degrades the conductivity of pure PVPA under anhydrous conditions.Conference Object Polymeric Semiconductors Based on Meso-Substituted BODIPY for (Opto)electronic Applications(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019) Usta, Hakan; Kim, Choongik; Kim, BumjoonConference Object Photophysical Properties of Self-Assembled Supramolecular Peptide Nanofiber Organic Semiconductors(Amer Chemical Soc, 2015) Khalily, Mohammad Aref; Usta, Hakan; Guler, Mustafa O.Article Citation - WoS: 75Citation - Scopus: 74Perfluoroalkyl-Functionalized Thiazole Thiophene Oligomers as N-Channel Semiconductors in Organic Field-Effect and Light-Emitting Transistors(Amer Chemical Soc, 2014-11-04) Usta, Hakan; Sheets, William Christopher; Denti, Mitchell; Generali, Gianluca; Capelli, Raffaella; Lu, Shaofeng; Facchetti, AntonioDespite their favorable electronic and structural properties, the synthetic development and incorporation of thiazole-based building blocks into n-type semiconductors has lagged behind that of other pi-deficient building blocks. Since thiazole insertion into pi-conjugated systems is synthetically more demanding, continuous research efforts are essential to underscore their properties in electron-transporting devices. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of a new series of thiazolethiophene tetra- (1 and 2) and hexa-heteroaryl (3 and 4) co-oligomers, varied by core extension and regiochemistry, which are end-functionalized with electron-withdrawing perfluorohexyl substituents. These new semiconductors are found to exhibit excellent n-channel OFET transport with electron mobilities (mu(e)) as high as 1.30 cm(2)/(V center dot s) (I-on/I-off > 10(6)) for films of 2 deposited at room temperature. In contrary to previous studies, we show here that 2,2'-bithiazole can be a very practical building block for high-performance n-channel semiconductors. Additionally, upon 2,2'- and 5,5'-bithiazole insertion into a sexithiophene backbone of well-known DFH-6T, significant charge transport improvements (from 0.0010.021 cm(2)/(V center dot s) to 0.200.70 cm(2)/(V center dot s)) were observed for 3 and 4. Analysis of the thin-film morphological and microstructural characteristics, in combination with the physicochemical properties, explains the observed high mobilities for the present semiconductors. Finally, we demonstrate for the first time implementation of a thiazole semiconductor (2) into a trilayer light-emitting transistor (OLET) enabling green light emission. Our results show that thiazole is a promising building block for efficient electron transport in ?-conjugated semiconductor thin-films, and it should be studied more in future optoelectronic applications.
