CdS–Polymer Nanocomposites and Light‐Emitting Fibers by In Situ Electron‐Beam Synthesis and Lithography

Abstract: A straightforward, electron-beam induced synthesis and patterning approach to the in situ generation of CdS nanocrystals in nanocomposite films and light-emitting electrospun nanofibers is used. Smartly combining room-temperature nanoimprinting, electrospinning, and electron-beam decomposition of nanocrystal precursors and subsequent nucleation of nanoparticles in a polymer matrix allows exploitation of the most favorable flow conditions of organics to produce various nanocomposite nanostructures.

“…To achieve structures far below 1 mm, we identied extreme ultraviolet interference lithography (EUV-IL) to be an ideally suited method for this purpose. Also laser interference lithography (LIL), as well as EBL, 26 were considered as generally suitable techniques. However, compared to LIL, EUV-IL has the advantage that resolutions far below 100 nm can be achieved.…”

“…In particular, the increase of the overall viscosity, the delayed thermomechanical response, and the control on the dispersion uniformity may strongly limit the possibility of shaping composites in the form of nanostructures or wires, which would benefit of an enhanced surface active area and additional possibilities of device design. In this respect, the implementation of low‐temperature methods for the in situ synthesis of BaTiO 3 NPs into a preformed polymer matrix, analogously to previous studies on light emissive nanocrystals, is especially interesting in view of realizing energy harvesting composites. Also, graphene and its derivatives have recently emerged as alternative fillers for PVDF .…”

“…In this way, nanocomposite fibers are electrospun with absorption and emission in the visible and near infrared spectral range, by using inorganic NPs (i.e., metallic, such as Ag, Au, Pd and Pt, with size‐tunable absorption, or semiconducting from II–VI or III–V elements, with size‐tunable electronic band gap and emission bands) . Optically active nanocrystals are embedded in electrospun NFs by two methods: mixing ex situ colloidal particles with the organic solution, or synthesis in situ following the embedment of suitable molecular precursors in the fibers and decomposition by thermal treatment, optical or electron‐beam exposure, and gas reaction . The first method generally allows for more precisely controlling the size distribution of particles, and, consequently their optical bands .…”
