[PMID: 38628721 PMCID: PMC11016983 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
This comprehensive review examines the immense capacity of nanowires, nanostructures characterized by unbounded dimensions, to profoundly transform the field of biomedicine. Nanowires, which are created by combining several materials using techniques such as electrospinning and vapor deposition, possess distinct mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. As a result, they are well-suited for use in nanoscale electronic devices, drug delivery systems, chemical sensors, and other applications. The utilization of techniques such as the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) approach and template-assisted approaches enables the achievement of precision in synthesis. This precision allows for the customization of characteristics, which in turn enables the capability of intracellular sensing and accurate drug administration. Nanowires exhibit potential in biomedical imaging, neural interfacing, and tissue engineering, despite obstacles related to biocompatibility and scalable manufacturing. They possess multifunctional capabilities that have the potential to greatly influence the intersection of nanotechnology and healthcare. Surmounting present obstacles has the potential to unleash the complete capabilities of nanowires, leading to significant improvements in diagnostics, biosensing, regenerative medicine, and next-generation point-of-care medicines.

Abstract
Silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks have great potential to replace commercial transparent conducting oxides due to their superior properties in conjunction with their competitive cost, availability and mechanical flexibility. However, there are still challenges to overcome for the large scale utilization of Ag NWs in devices due to oxidation/sulfidation of NWs, which leads to performance loss. Here, we develop a solution-based strategy to deposit a thin platinum (Pt) shell layer (15 nm) onto Ag NWs to improve their chemical, environmental and electrochemical stabilities. Environmental and thermal stabilities of the core-shell NW networks were monitored under different relative humidity conditions (RH of 43, 75 and 85%) and temperature settings (75 °C for 120 hours and 150 °C for 40 hours) and compared to those of bare Ag NWs. Afterwards, stability of core-shell NW networks in hydrogen peroxide was investigated and compared to that of bare Ag NW networks. The potential window for electrochemical stability of the Ag NW networks was broadened to 0-1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) upon Pt deposition, while bare Ag NWs were stable only in the 0-0.6 V range. Moreover, Ag-Pt core-shell NWs were used for the detection of hydrogen peroxide, where a high sensitivity of 0.04 μA μM-1 over a wide linear range of concentrations (16.6-990.1 μM) with a low detection limit (10.95 μM) was obtained for the fabricated sensors. All in all, this highly effective and simple strategy to improve the stability of Ag NWs will certainly open new avenues for their large-scale utilization in various electrochemical and sensing devices.

Abstract
Stretchable barrier films capable of maintaining high levels of moisture- and gas-barrier performance under significant mechanical strains are a critical component for wearable/flexible electronics and other devices, but realization of stretchable moisture-barrier films has not been possible due to the inevitable issues of strain-induced rupturing compounded with moisture-induced swelling of a stretched barrier film. This study demonstrates nanolaminated polymer/metal oxide stretchable moisture-barrier films fabricated by a novel molecular layer deposition (MLD) process of polyamide-2,3 (PA-2,3) integrated with atomic layer deposition (ALD) metal oxide processes and an in situ surface-functionalization technique. The PA-2,3 surface upon in situ functionalization with H2O2 vapor offers adequate surface chemisorption sites for rapid nucleation of ALD oxides, minimizing defects at the PA-2,3/oxide interfaces in the nanolaminates. The integrated ALD/MLD process enables facile deposition and precise structural control of many-layered oxide/PA-2,3 nanolaminates, where the large number of PA-2,3 nanolayers provide high tolerance against mechanical stretching and flexing thanks to their defect-decoupling and stress-buffering functions, while the large number of oxide nanolayers shield against swelling by moisture. Specifically, a nanolaminate with 72 pairs of alternating 2 nm (5 cycles) PA-2,3 and 0.5 nm HfO2 (five cycles) maintains its water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) at the 10-6 g/m2 day level upon 10% tensile stretching and 2 mm-radius bending, a significant breakthrough for the wearable/flexible electronics technologies.

Abstract
In order to investigate the thermal and chemical (in)stabilities of MAPbI3 incorporated with graphene and silver nanowire (AgNW) electrodes, we employed the terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy, which has a unique ability to deliver the information of electrical properties and the intermolecular bonding and crystalline nature of materials. In in situ THz spectroscopy of MAPbI3, we observed a slight blue-shift in frequency of the 2 THz phonon mode as temperatures increase across the tetragonal-cubic structural phase transition. For MAPbI3 with the graphene top electrode, no noticeable frequency shift is observed until the temperature reaches the maximum operating temperature of solar cells (85 °C). Phonon frequency shift is sensitive to the strain-induced tilt of PbI6 octahedra and our results indicate that graphene forms a stable interface with MAPbI3 and is also effective in suppression of the undesirable phase transition. Meanwhile, for MAPbI3 coupled with the AgNW bottom electrode, the THz conductivity was found to be as low as that of the MAPbI3 single layer, attributed to the chemical reaction between Ag atoms and iodide ions. The THz conductivity is greatly increased when an ultrathin Al2O3 interlayer is introduced to cover the AgNW network via the atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. ALD of Al2O3 on the AgNW surfaces at low temperature guarantees a conformal coating, which strongly affects the ohmic contacts between the NWs. Our results demonstrate the advantage of THz spectroscopy for the comprehensive analysis of thermal and chemical stabilities of perovskites associated with the electrode materials.

Understanding of the Mechanism for Laser Ablation-Assisted Patterning of Graphene/ITO Double Layers: Role of Effective Thermal Energy Transfer. MICROMACHINES 2020; 11:mi11090821.

Abstract
Demand for the fabrication of high-performance, transparent electronic devices with improved electronic and mechanical properties is significantly increasing for various applications. In this context, it is essential to develop highly transparent and conductive electrodes for the realization of such devices. To this end, in this work, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene was transferred to both glass and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates that had been pre-coated with an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and then subsequently patterned by using a laser-ablation method for a low-cost, simple, and high-throughput process. A comparison of the results of the laser ablation of such a graphene/ITO double layer with those of the ITO single-layered films reveals that a larger amount of effective thermal energy of the laser used is transferred in the lateral direction along the graphene upper layer in the graphene/ITO double-layered structure, attributable to the high thermal conductivity of graphene. The transferred thermal energy is expected to melt and evaporate the lower ITO layer at a relatively lower threshold energy of laser ablation. The transient analysis of the temperature profiles indicates that the graphene layers can act as both an effective thermal diffuser and converter for the planar heat transfer. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the graphite peak on the ITO layer where the graphene upper layer was selectively removed because of the incomplete heating and removal process for the ITO layer by the laterally transferred effective thermal energy of the laser beam. Our approach could have broad implications for designing highly transparent and conductive electrodes as well as a new way of nanoscale patterning for other optoelectronic-device applications using laser-ablation methods.
