Fabricating perovskite single-crystal thin films (SCTFs) in controllable manner is the major challenge for the promising potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Although modifying the substrate surface is frequently used to realize the controlled growth of perovskite SCTFs, it is still unclear how the substrate condition affects the crystallization process. In this work, we systemically investigated the effects of the surface hydrophobicity of indium tin oxide substrates on the crystallization process of MAPbBr3 SCTFs prepared by the space-confined method. Comprehensive characterizations show that the surface morphology and crystallinity of SCTFs are improved, and the defect density is reduced when increasing the substrate hydrophobicity. The best MAPbBr3 thin film obtained has a full width at half-height of the rocking curve of the (001) crystal plane of 0.044°. The mechanism of the substrate hydrophobicity on the crystal growth is also discussed. These results will provide guidance to the controllable growth of high-quality SCTFs for perovskite SCTF devices.
Abstract A new method of using Sb 2 S 3 solution as precursor and drop-casting process for fabricating Sb 2 S 3 film/ITO combination with heterostructure is proposed. Effect of different substrates on photocatalytic performance was firstly investigated and the results reveal that formation of heterostructure in Sb 2 S 3 film/ITO combination promote the degradation rate of RhB.

Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited directly on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method by chemically reducing precursor metal salts with dopamine aqueous solution. The Au NPs decorated on the ITO substrate were approximately spherical, with an average particle size of about 40 nm, which varied in accordance with different SILAR cycles, reactant concentrations, and intermediate media. Strong surface plasma resonance characteristics were confirmed by the surface-enhanced Raman scattering and absorption spectra of the Au NPs. Through this simple method, glucose sensors based on this kind of Au NPs/ITO exhibited a sensitivity of 524 μA mM −1 cm −2 , which is higher than any other similar study.

A high-throughput and selective fluorimetric platform has been constructed for the analysis of ammonia in blood by using a polymer-stabilized metal–organic framework (MOF) of porous NH2-MIL-125, which was coated onto a wettable microwells array constructed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. It was found that the nitrogen plasma treatment for the ITO substrate could create a super-hydrophilic interface that combined with the hydrophobic pattern yielded a wettable microwells array, enabling the condensation-based enrichment of targets from the sample droplets. Moreover, the NH2-MIL-125 MOF encapsulated using polymers could be firmly coated onto the microwells to act as fluorescent probes for sensing NH3 with enhanced responses. In addition, the use of the polymer polyvinyl pyrrolidone could protect and stabilize the crystals of NH2-MIL-125 probe in aqueous media, revealing the improved hydrophilicity and significantly depressed signal background. The as-developed fluorimetric platform, containing a MOF-coated microwells array, can enable the detection of ammonia in blood, with concentrations ranging linearly from 0.10 to 300 μM. More importantly, this plasma treatment-based fabrication route may hold promise for designing different wettable microwells arrays for the high-throughput detection of multiple targets in the fields of biomedical analysis and environmental monitoring.
