ABSTRACTIn this paper, we present the syntheses of nano particles of organic / inorganic hybrid for coating on metal or glass surfaces. The organic component is a π-conjugated polymer, polyaniline. The inorganic component is a metal oxide, e.g., cerium oxide. Since the organic component is a water-dispersible polymeric complex of polyaniline and poly(acrylic acid), the hybrid particles are also dispersed in water. The synthesis of the organic / inorganic composite is described. The water dispersible hybrid material was coated on aluminum and glass substrates using a molecular layer-by-layer coating process.

Novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials were developed as LED sealants. Polysilsesquioxane with an -SH group (PSQ-SH) and acrylic monomer were selected as the inorganic and organic components, respectively. Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM), which is a trifunctional monomer, was selected as an acrylic monomer, and curing of the material was performed by the thiol-ene reaction. The LED was sealed using the prepared PSQ-SH/TRIM hybrid material (PTH), and a light emission test was performed. However, cracks occurred in the hybrid material during lighting. Therefore, ditrimethylol propane tetraacrylate (DTMPTA), which is a tetrafunctional monomer, was selected for the first time to prepare a PSQ-SH/DTMPA hybrid material (PDH) in order to enhance the strength and heat resistance of the material. The characteristics of the novel PDH were evaluated and compared with those of PTH. Specifically, the heat resistance was evaluated by confirming the onset temperature of weight reduction using thermogravimetry-differential thermal analyzer (TG-DTA) analysis, and the mechanical strength was also evaluated by bonding the glass substrates with a hybrid material and measuring the sealing strength. In conclusion, it was possible to suppress crack generation during lighting by using PDH instead of PTH in the light emission test.

It is currently of huge importance to find alternatives to fossil fuels to produce clean energy and to ensure the energy demands of modern society. In the present work, two types of hybrid solar cell devices were developed and characterized. The photoactive layers of the hybrid heterojunctions comprise poly (allylamine chloride) (PAH) and graphene oxide (GO) and TiO2 or ZnO films, which were deposited using the layer-by-layer technique and DC-reactive magnetron sputtering, respectively, onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrates. Scanning electron microscopy evidenced a homogeneous inorganic layer, the surface morphology of which was dependent on the number of organic bilayers. The electrical characterization pointed out that FTO/(PAH/GO)50/TiO2/Al, FTO/(PAH/GO)30/ZnO/Al, and FTO/(PAH/GO)50/ZnO/Al architectures were the only ones to exhibit a diode behavior, and the last one experienced a decrease in current in a low-humidity environment. The (PAH/GO)20 impedance spectroscopy study further revealed the typical impedance of a parallel RC circuit for a dry environment, whereas in a humid environment, it approached the impedance of a series of three parallel RC circuits, indicating that water and oxygen contribute to other conduction processes. Finally, the achieved devices should be encapsulated to work successfully as solar cells.

We developed a thin film growth with a radical-initiated cross-linking of vinyl groups in a layer-by-layer manner via molecular layer deposition (MLD). The cross-linked film exhibited improved properties like 12% higher density and enhanced stability compared to the non-cross-linked film.

According to the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), a hybrid material is that composed of an intimate mixture of inorganic components, organic components, or both types of components which usually interpenetrate on scales of less than 1 μm [...]
