This work presents an amino plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (NH3 PECVD) treatment to modify multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the immobilization of antibodies (IgG-gold), and the effects of treatment time were studied. A titanium nitride (TiN) buffer layer and a nickel catalyst layer were deposited on silicon substrates for synthesis of MWCNTs using thermal CVD. The MWCNTs were modified by amine (NH2 (-) ) or amino (NH(-) ) functional groups for 1, 3, and 5 min by PECVD, respectively. Mouse IgG-golds were immobilized on the modified MWCNTs using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinker. The performance of the modified MWCNTs was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), contact angle system (CA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ESCA), and UV-visible spectroscopy. Results show that the efficiency of IgG-gold immobilization was increased with the increase of NH3 PECVD treatment time. The NH3 PECVD treatment changed the surface properties of the MWCNTs, tuning them more hydrophilic without affecting their structure. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NH is an essential ingredient of chemical, fertilizer, and energy storage products. Industrial nitrogen fixation consumes an enormous amount of energy, which is counter to the concept of carbon neutrality, hence eNRR ought to be implemented as a clean alternative. Herein, we propose a double-single-atom MoCu-embedded porous carbon material derived from uio-66 (MoCu@C) by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to boost eNRR capabilities, with an NH yield rate of 52.

The application of surface coatings is a popular technique to improve the performance of materials used for medical and dental implants. Ternary silicon carbon nitride (SiCN), obtained by introducing nitrogen into SiC, has attracted significant interest due to its potential advantages. This study investigated the properties of SiCN films deposited via PECVD for dental implant coatings.

The effect of a-SiCN:H encapsulation layers, which are prepared using the very-high-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (VHF-PECVD) technique with SiH, CH, and NH as the precursors, on the stability and photoluminescence of CsPbBr quantum dots (QDs) were investigated in this study. The results show that a-SiCxNy:H encapsulation layers containing a high N content of approximately 50% cause severe PL degradation of CsPbBr QDs. However, by reducing the N content in the a-SiCxNy:H layer, the PL degradation of CsPbBr QDs can be significantly minimized.

Low Leakage Current and High Breakdown Field AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMTs Using PECVD-SiN as a Gate Dielectric.

In this paper, SiN film deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition was employed as a gate dielectric of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). We found that the NH flow during the deposition of SiN can significantly affect the performances of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) HEMTs. Compared to that without using NH flow, the device with the optimized NH flow exhibited three orders of magnitude lower gate leakage current, two orders of magnitude higher ON/OF drain current ratio, and an increased breakdown field by 69%.

Highly moisture permeation resistive and transparent single layer thin films for the encapsulation of hydrogenated silicon oxynitrides (H:SiON) were deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using silane (SiH), nitrous oxide (NO), ammonia (NH), and hydrogen (H) at 100 °C for applications to a top-emission organic light-emitting diode (TEOLED). Addition of H into the PECVD process of SiON film deposition afforded the hydrogenated SiON film, which showed not only improved optical properties such as transmittance and reflectance but also better barrier property to water permeation than PECVD SiON and even SiN . The H:SiON film with thickness of only 80 nm exhibited water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) lower than 5 × 10 g per m per day in the test conditions of 38 °C and 100% humidity, where this WVTR is the measurement limit of the MOCON equipment.
