Self-assembled Manganese Dioxide Thin Films as Novel Electrode Material for the Fabrication of Thin–Film Supercapacitors

Cem Pang S., Wee B.H., Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, MY

Self-assembled manganese dioxide thin films were being deposited directly onto metalized plastic supporting substrates by a novel horizontal submersion process which entailed spontaneous self-assembly of preformed manganese dioxide nanoparticles under optimized deposition conditions. Desired film [...]

Influences of the Surrounding Materials on CdTe Quantum Dots within Self-Assembled Thin Films

Gardner H.C., Bertoni C., Gallardo D.E., Dunn S., Cain M.G., National Physical Laboratory, UK

Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully incorporated into nanostructured light emitting devices (NLEDs) and now promise applications in electronic, medical and telecommunication industries. To better understand and further develop NLEDs it is important to consider [...]
