Unfolding photophysical properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-MoSorganic-inorganic hybrid materials: an application to self-powered photodetectors.

Self-powered photodetectors have grown as inevitable members of the optoelectronic device family. However, it is still challenging to achieve self-powered photodetection with good responsivity in the visible spectrum region. Herein, we report solution-processable poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-molybdenum disulfide (MoS) organic-inorganic hybrid material, which can be used as the active layer in self-powered photodetectors.

Polymer/Graphene oxide nanocomposite thin film for NO sensor: An in situ investigation of electronic, morphological, structural, and spectroscopic properties.

The higher operating temperature of metal oxide and air instability of organic based NO sensor causes extremely urgent for development of a reliable low cost sensor to detect NO at room temperature. Therefore, we present a fabrication of large area Polymer/GO nano hybrid thin film for polymer thin film transistors (PTFTs) based NO sensors assisted via facile method named 'spreading-solidifying (SS) method', grown over air/liquid interface and successive investigation of effect of NO on film via several characterizations. The PTFTs sensor has demonstrated swift and high response towards low concentration of NO gas with air stability and provided real time non-invasive type NO sensor.

Corrosion prevention of commercial alloys by air-water interface grown, edge on oriented, ultrathin squaraine film.

Copper is one of the most demanded commercial metal/alloys in world market. The demand for copper in industries such as electrical, electronics, automobile, telecommunications, defence, etc. as well as in daily life has escalated in the recent years due to its versatile physical and chemical properties.

Homogenous Dispersion of MoS Nanosheets in Polyindole Matrix at Air-Water Interface Assisted by Langmuir Technique.

Two-dimensional (2D) inorganic layered materials when embedded in organic polymer matrix exhibit exotic properties that are grabbing contemporary attention for various applications. Here, nanosheet morphology of molybdenum disufide (MoS) synthesized via one-pot facile hydrothermal reaction are exfoliated in benign aqueous medium in the presence of indole to obtain a stable dispersion. These exfoliated nanosheets then act as host to template the controlled polymerization of indole.

Surface plasmon coupled metal enhanced spectral and charge transport properties of poly(3,3'''-dialkylquarterthiophene) Langmuir Schaefer films.

The coupling of organic molecule excitons with metal nano-structure surface plasmons can improve the performance of optoelectronic devices. This paper presents the effect of localized silver metal surface plasmons on spectral as well as charge transport properties of ordered molecular Langmuir Schaefer (LS) films of a fluorescent conducting multifunctional organic polymer: poly (3,3'''-dialkylquarterthiophene) [PQT-12]. The stability and thickness of the PQT-12 LS film were studied by the pressure vs.
