Abstract:MnO2 nanostructures were fabricated by plasma assisted-chemical vapor deposition (PA-CVD) using a fluorinated diketonate diamine manganese complex, acting as single-source precursor for both Mn and F. The syntheses were performed from Ar/O2 plasmas on MgAl2O4(100), YAlO3(010), and Y3Al5O12(100) single crystals at a growth temperature of 300 °C, in order to investigate the substrate influence on material chemico-physical properties. A detailed characterization through complementary analytical techniques… Show more
“…[207][208][209][210] Fluoroalkoxides are also hydrophobic, providing additional stability against hydrolysis from atmospheric moisture. 207 While fluorinated ligands are sometimes reported in SSPs for fluorine-doped materials, 211 most commonly fluorinedoped tin oxide (FTO), 212,213 it is feasible to fabricate thin films without fluorine incorporation despite using fluorinated precursors. The strong C-F bond means complexes will thermally decompose into more stable fluorine-containing fragments, removing the fluorine atoms as process-inert by-products and preventing incorporation into the film.…”
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising method for generating green hydrogen as a solar fuel, overcoming the issues associated with unreliability and periodicity of renewable technologies. While research in...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
