Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) of group -VIB (MX2, M = Mo, W; X = S, Se, Te, etc.) with sizeable bandgap exhibit different interesting physical and chemical properties which open up new avenues to their technological applications. However, refinement and expansion of growth of TMDCs are required to realize commercializable products and to bring these technological applications to consumer's market. Here, we present growth of MoS2 catalyst by ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A Pt foil substrate was used to grow MoO2 TMDC from the reaction at high temperature (similar to 800 degrees C) between molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) and sulfur (S) in the presence of argon flow. The area coverage of 4 cm(2) of MoS2 layers was achieved on the Pt substrate, which is promising for application requiring large area coverage. The Pt foil was reusable in subsequent growth experiments although there was signature of surface sulphurization that occurred due to elevated temperature needed in the growth process. To confirm the growth of MoS2, Raman spectroscopy was performed. The frequency difference between the featured modes (E2g(1) at 384.7 cm(-1) and A(1g) at 409.3 cm(-1)) of MoS2 was 24.6 cm(-1), which confirmed the multilayer growth of MoS2 on Pt surface. The chemical composition of the asgrown MoS2 film was obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS): Mo 3d and S 2s doublets were observed which supported MoS2 formation.

Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-15)
A dipyrrolyl monomer was synthesized via the reaction between 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenol and decanedioyl dichloride. The electrochemical behavior of this monomer was studied. Polymerization of decanedioic acid bis-(4-pyrrol-1-yi-phenyl) ester (DAPE) was achieved by chemical and constant current electrolyses methods. Copolymerization of DAPE with thiophene was performed by constant potential electrolysis in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB), dichloromethane-TBAFB, solvent-electrolyte couple...

Bis(2,4,6-tribromophenolato)di(N-methyl imidazole)M(II), where M stands for cobalt and copper metals, was synthesized via reaction of the corresponding metal sulphate and 2,4,6-tribromophenolate in aqueous media in the presence of N-methyl imidazole and sodium hydroxide. Although various crystallization procedures were applied only cobalt complex was obtained as single crystals. The Co(II) ion has a distorted octahedral enviroment involving two O atoms and two N atoms of the Bis(2,4,6-tribromopbenolato)di(N...

Homopolymer and copolymer of N-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)methylcarbonyloxyethyl) maleimide (NMThi) with thiophene [P(NMThi-co-Th)] were synthesized electrochemically in acetonitrile[borontrifluoride ethylether solvent mixture (1: 1, v/v). Spectroelectrochemical analysis of the resulting copolymer reflected electronic transitions at 488 and 718 nm revealing pi to pi* transition and polaron formation, respectively. Switching ability was evaluated by a kinetic study via measuring the transmittance (%T) at the maximum ...

Synthesis of a series of new conjugated electrochromic polymeric pyridinium salts containing main-chain triphenylamine and their electrochromic properties were demonstrated. All polymers exhibit intense UV absorptions at 336-338 nm in DMF and 340-343 nm in thin film form and fluorescence centered at 410-438 nm in DMF and 460-461 nm in thin film form. The electrochromic properties of the films were investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods. Reversible redox signals with stable electr...

1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (FPTP) was synthesized and polymerized both chemically and electrochemically. Spectroelectrochemistry experiments reflected a pi to pi* transition with a band gap energy of 1.94eV for the polymer. A dual type electrochromic device (ECD) of P(FPTP) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was constructed. The device switches between yellow and blue upon application of -0.8 V and +1.1 V, respectively. Optical contrast was calculated as 19.4% whereas swit...
