A novel electro-codeposited film was homogeneously obtained on an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass electrode by cathodic polarization of a solution of 2,9,16,23-tetracarboxyphthalocyaninatomagnesium(II) ( Mg II taPc ), N,N′-4-hydroxyphenyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetra-carboxylic-diimide (4-hph-PTC) and ZnCl 2 as supporting electrolyte in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The cyclic voltammogram for the codeposited film showed a reduction at −0.8 V vs SCE which was assigned to the reduction of Mg II taPc and one at −1.5 V vs SCE which was assigned to the reduction of 4-hph-PTC. A device based on the codeposited film was prepared by the formation of an aluminum electrode on the codeposited film. The device exhibited rectification and photoconduction. The results suggest that the codeposited film forms a number of p-n junction interfaces which are distributed on the ITO electrode.

Chemically-modified Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates were fabricated by depositing Nafion thin films doped with tris (2,2’-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride hexahydrate via drop coating deposition technique. The Nafion volume concentration in the film is 1% (v/v) and the mediator concentration is 5 mg per 1 mL Nafion. The chemically-modified electrodes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and were used as working electrodes to detect varying concentrations of copper (Cu2+) and zinc (Zn2+) in a 0.1 M NaCl supporting electrolyte solution via Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV). Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions were successfully determined by ASV. The limits of detection for Cu2+ and Zn2+ were 0.1 ppm and 0.7 ppm, respectively. The modified electrodes were used to determine the presence of Cu2+ and Zn2+ in different real water samples. The presence of Cu2+ was successfully determined in deep well, lake, and tap water samples, while the presence of Zn2+ was successfully determined in sea and tap water samples. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) results confirm the presence of Cu2+ and Zn2+ in the samples.

A photovoltaic photodetector harnessing near infrared band gap absorption by thin films of post-synthetically sorted semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes ( s -SWCNTs) is described. Peak specific detectivity of 6×1011 Jones at -0.1 V bias at 1210 nm is achieved using a heterojunction device architecture: indium tin oxide/ ca. 5 nm s -SWCNT / 120 nm C60 / 10 nm 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) / Ag. The photodiodes are characterized by a series resistance of 2.9 Ω cm2 and a rectification ratio of 104 at ±1V. These results are expected to guide the exploration of new classes of solution-processable, mechanically flexible, integrable, thin film photovoltaic photodetectors with tunable sensitivity in the visible and infrared spectra based on semiconducting carbon nanotubes.

We report the formation of gold nanoparticles on indium tin oxide conducting glass (ITO) surface via electrodeposition method at room temperature. The prepared nano-Au electrodes has been fabricated for sensitive detection of Pb2+, and showed highly selective response toward Pb2+. The electrochemical detection of Pb2+ were determined by differential pulse stripping voltammetric (DPSV). The nano-Au electrochemical sensor could detect Pb2+ from 0.5 to 10 μM with detection limits of 0.06 μM (S/N= 3) and sensitivity of 0.27996 mA μM−1. The proposed sensor is simple, reliable, sensitive, selective, and low-cost, thus holds potential for practical application in Pb2+ detection.
