The CuO doped ZnO composite materials were obtained by mixing AR grade （99.9% pure） Zinc Oxide powder mechanochemically in acetone medium with various weight percentages of Copper Chloride （CulCI2.2H20） powder （1, 3, 5, 7 and 9wt.%）. The prepared materials were sintered at 1,000 ℃ for 12 h in air ambience and ball milled to ensure sufficiently fine particle size. The films were characterized by different techniques with respect to their surface morphology and compositional property by means of SEM （scanning electron microscope） and EDXA （energy dispersive x-ray analysis）. The surface morphology of the films was studied by SEM and it shows the films are porous in nature and petal-shaped grains of sizes varies from 220 nm to 250 nm were observed. The final composition of each film was determined by the EDXA analysis. The gas response of undoped ZnO and CuO doped ZnO films was studied for different gases such as CO, C12, NH3, Ethanol, H2S and LPG at operating temperature ranging from 50 ℃ to 400 ℃. The 7wt.% CuO-doped ZnO film shows good response to H2S gas （100 ppm） at 250 ℃.展开更多

The characteristics of three common substrate piezoelectric materials of ST-quartz, Y36°-LiTaO3 and Y128°-LiNbO3 are evaluated. The experimental results show that Y128°-LiNbO3 matches the ink much better than others. The printed SAW filter with Y128°-LiNbO3 as piezoelectric substrate is realized, and its center frequency and bandwidth are 18.4 MHz and 500 kHz, respectively.展开更多

In terms of scalability and cost efficiency, inkjet printing is very competitive over other existing direct- writing methods. However, it has been challenging to obtain highly stable and clog-free graphene-based ink. Here, we report an alternative and highly efficient technique to directly print a reducing reagent on graphene oxide film to form conductive graphene patterns. By this ＂inkjet reduction＂ method, without using any other microfabrication technique, conductive graphene patterns and devices for various applications are obtained. The ionic nature of the reductant ink makes it clog-free and stable for continuous and large-area printing. The method shows self-limited reduction feature, which enables electrical conductivity of graphene patterns to be tuned within 5 orders of magnitude, reaching as high as 8,000 S.m-1. Furthermore, this method can be extended to produce noble metal/graphene composite patterns. The devices, including transistors, biosensors, and surface- enhanced Raman scattering substrates, demonstrate excellent functionalities. This work provides a new strategy to prepare large-area graphene-based devices that is low-cost and highly efficient, promising to advance research on graphene- based flexible electronics.展开更多
