The Past and the Future of Langmuir and Langmuir–Blodgett Films

Chemical Reviews, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 122(6), С. 6459 - 6513

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2022

The Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique, through which monolayers are transferred from the air/water interface onto a solid substrate, was first method to allow for controlled assembly of organic molecules. With its almost 100 year history, it has been inspiration most methods functionalize surfaces and produce nanocoatings, in addition serving explore concepts molecular electronics nanoarchitectonics. This paper provides an overview history Langmuir LB films, including potential use devices discussion on why films seldom considered practical applications today. Emphasis is then given two areas where these offer unique opportunities, namely, mimicking cell membrane models exploiting nanoarchitectonics sensors, investigate recognitions, assemble machines. promising topics short- long-term prospects technique also highlighted.

Langmuir, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 36(26), С. 7158 - 7180

Опубликована: Июнь 5, 2020

Designing interfacial structures with nanoscale (or molecular) components is one of the important tasks in nanoarchitectonics concept. In particular, Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) method can become a promising and powerful strategy nanoarchitectonics. From this viewpoint, status LB films 2020 will be discussed feature article. After section on basics technique, various recent research examples are introduced according to classifications (i) growing research, (ii) emerging (iii) future research. materials other than traditional lipids typical amphiphiles used as film techniques. Two-dimensional materials, supramolecular such metal organic frameworks, biomaterials DNA origami pieces capable working functional assemblies. Possible areas methods would cover demands, including energy, environmental, biomedical applications wide range materials. addition, forefront molecular manipulation cell fate control conducted LB-related science. The technique well-develop methodology for ca. 100 year history. However, there plenty room at interfaces, shown described It hoped that continuous development science technology make an unforgettable methodology.

Recent Developments on Molten Salt Synthesis of Inorganic Nanomaterials: A Review

The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 125(12), С. 6508 - 6533

Опубликована: Фев. 23, 2021

A wide range of inorganic nanomaterials with many fascinating properties and application potentials in widespread fields may be synthesized by wet chemical synthetic routes. To achieve scientific commercial viability uniformity scalability, it is necessary to develop efficient cost-effective, preferably sustainable, methods. The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method one such bottom-up technique fabricate a variety tunable size, morphology, surface characteristics. It also environmentally friendly, simple operate, easy scale, generalizable, etc. This review gives critical overview on this emerging rapidly developing for making defect free well-defined texture, surface, morphology at relatively low formation temperature. We have discussed its different aspects, including the role salts, choice electrochemical some advanced modifications conventional MSS technique, their implications. show most recent development nanomaterials, only encompasses studies reported over last six years (2015–2020). summarized technologically important families as metal oxides, fluorides, nitrides, silicides, chalcogenides, oxohalides, borides, carbides. Finally, few perspectives are highlighted. expected that will further attract scientists explore size- shape-tunable nanomaterials.
