    Thin Films of Inert Metal Nanowires for Display Applications
    (Tanger Ltd, 2015) Citir, Murat; Sen, Unal; Usta, Hakan; Canlier, Ali; Hakan, Usta; Ali, Canlier; Murat, Citir; Unal, Sen
    Ag nanowire transparent electrode has excellent transmittance (90%) and sheet resistance (20 Ohm/sq), yet there are slight drawbacks such as optical haze and chemical instability against aerial oxidation. Chemical stability of Ag nanowires needs to be improved in order for it to be suitable for electrode applications. Coating Ag nanowires with a thin layer of inert metals such as Au and Pd through galvanic exchange reactions may enhance the chemical stability of Ag nanowire films highly and also helps to obtain lower haze. In this study, coating of thin Au and Pd layers has been applied successfully onto the surface of Ag nanowires. Usually coatings are carried out by salts such as HAuCl4 and K2PdCl4 in order to make nanotubes. In this study, novel ethylenediamine(en) complexes of inert metal cations with mild oxidation power were prepared in order to oxidize Ag atoms partially on the surface through galvanic displacement. The mild galvanic exchange allowed for a thin layer (1-4 nm) of inert metal coating on the Ag nanowires with minimal truncation of the nanowire, where the average lengths and the diameters were between 10 similar to 14 mu m and 55 similar to 65 nm, respectively. The crystalline structure of the shell was formed epitaxially on the surface. The new Ag nanowires were suspended in methanol and then electrostatically sprayed on glass and flexible substrates. It was revealed that average total transmittance remain around 90% within visible spectrum region (400-800 nm) whereas sheet resistance rises up to 175 Ohm/sq. Very thin layer of inert metal costs low, though this may render an excellent catalyst for applications such as fuel cell and organic synthesis, whereas transparent films of inert metal-coated Ag nanowire can be utilized as working electrodes for spectro-electrochemical cells as well.

    Stochastic Orientational Encoding via Hydrogen Bonding Driven Assembly of Woven-Like Molecular Physically Unclonable Functions
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025-07-02) Kayaci, Nilgun; Kiremitler, Nuri Burak; Deneme, Ibrahim; Kalay, Mustafa; Ozbasaran, Aleyna; Zorlu, Yunus; Usta, Hakan
    The prevention of counterfeiting and the assurance of object authenticity require stochastic encoding schemes based on physically unclonable functions (PUFs). There is an urgent need for exceptionally large encoding capacities and multi-level responses within a molecularly defined, single-material system. Herein, a novel stochastic orientational encoding approach is demonstrated using a facile ambient-atmosphere solution processing of a molecular thin film based on the rod-shaped oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE) pi-architecture. The nanoscopic film, derived from the small molecule 2EHO-CF3PyPE with donor, acceptor, and pi-spacer building units, is designed for energetically favorable uniaxial molecular assembly and crystal growth via directional multiple hydrogen-bonding motifs at the molecular termini and short C & horbar;H<middle dot><middle dot><middle dot>pi contacts at the center. A facile solvent vapor annealing induces concurrent dewetting and microscopic 1D random crystallization, yielding a woven-textured random features. Using convolutional neural networks, the rich variations in microcrystal domain properties and stochastic encoding of 1D crystal orientations generate artificial coloration, achieving an encoding capacity reaching (6.5 x 10(4))(2752 x 2208). The results demonstrate an effective strategy for achieving ultrahigh encoding capacities in a thin film composed of a single-material. This approach enables low-cost, solution-processed fabrication for mass production and broad adoption, while opening new opportunities to explore molecular-PUFs through structural design and engineering noncovalent interactions.

    Polymeric and Small-Molecule Semiconductors for Organic Field-Effect Transistors
    (wiley, 2015-01-16) Usta, Hakan; Facchetti, A. F.
    This chapter reviews the achievements in the development of molecular and polymeric semiconductors for charge transport in thin-film transistors (TFTs). In particular, it introduces the basic concepts of organic semiconductor structure and organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) operation and then focuses on initial studies and works. Organic semiconductors for OTFTs must possess two essential structural features for their successful implementation in printed electronics. The first feature is a π-conjugated core/chain composed of linked unsaturated units. The second feature is core functionalization with solubilizing substituents, which is essential for inexpensive manufacture by solution methods as well as for enhancing solid-state core interactions. There are several advantages in using polymeric versus molecular p-conjugated semiconductors. Isoindigo has become a popular conjugated moiety in polymer semiconductor design because of its strong electron-withdrawing character. Polymeric p-channel TFTs have reached new heights, with hole mobilities unthinkable only few years back and surpassing 10 cm2V-1 s-1. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Paper-Based Substrates for Sustainable (OPTO)Electronic Devices
    (Elsevier, 2022) Usta, Hakan; Facchetti, A. F.
    Cellulose-based paper has been a convenient eco-friendly platform for storing and exchanging information for thousands of years. Amazingly, the studies and advancements in the past decade have demonstrated that paper and nanocellulose-based substrates are also attractive for fabricating flexible electronic circuits as well as optoelectronic components and devices. Paper and nanocellulose-based substrates have been considered for use in new generation green devices and optoelectronic applications based on their sustainable and inexpensive source, lightweight, and superior mechanical/optical properties, all factors that could also reduce manufacturing costs for producing these devices. In this chapter, we review functional materials and optoelectronic devices fabricated on paper or nanocellulose-based substrates including transistors and circuits, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and other devices, such as sensors/actuators, batteries, supercapacitors/energy-harvesters, and breathalyzer/diagnosis devices. We also thoroughly discuss remaining challenges and promising research directions with paper-based substrates for future advancements in green optoelectronics. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Organic Semiconductors for Transparent Electronics
    (wiley, 2018-10-26) Usta, Hakan; Facchetti, A. F.
    A relatively unexplored, yet important, research focus has been to develop optically transparent organic semiconductor thin films with efficient charge-transport characteristics. This chapter focuses on transparent organic semiconductors. Organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) are envisioned as key building blocks of next generation electronic technologies such as low-power-consumption flexible displays, electronic papers, plastic RFID tags, and sensors. The historic development of oligothiophene derivatives has significantly advanced the field of organic semiconductors for organic TFT and achieved record charge carrier mobilities for both hole and electron. In the past decade, organic semiconductor research has extensively focused on fused heteroacenes as a new promising class of p-type semiconductors. Rylene dicarboximides belong to one of the most popular and deeply studied classes of n-type semiconductors. Among the rylene dicarboximide semiconductors developed in the past two decades for organic electronics, only pyromelliticdicarboximides (PyDI) and naphthalenedicarboximides (NDI) have the potential for use in transparent electronics. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
