Item Photothermal cancer therapy via femtosecond-laser-excited FePt nanoparticles(Elsevier, 2013-01-01) C.-L. Chen; L.-R. Kuo; S.-Y. Lee; Y.-K. Hwu; S.-W. Chou; Chia-Chun Chen; F.-H. Chang; K.-H. Lin; D.-H. Tsai; Y.-Y. ChenFePt nanoparticles (NPs) have recently been revealed to be significant multifunctional materials for the applications of biomedical imaging, drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia due to their novel magnetic properties. In this study, a newly discovered photothermal effect activated by the near infrared (NIR) femtosecond laser for FePt NPs was demonstrated. The threshold laser energy to destroy cancer cells was found to be comparable to that of gold nanorods (Au NRs) previously reported. Through the thermal lens technique, it was concluded that the temperature of the FePt NPs can be heated up to a couple of hundreds degree C in picoseconds under laser irradiation due to the excellent photothermal transduction efficiency of FePt NPs. This finding boosts FePt NPs versatility in multifunctional targeted cancer therapy.Item Enhanced performance of photodetector and photovoltaic based on carrier reflector and back surface field generated by doped graphene(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012-08-13) C.-W. Chang; D.-Y. Wang; W.-C. Tan; I-S. Huang; I-S. Wang; Chia-Chun Chen; Y.-J. Yang; Y.-F. ChenWe report the influence of carrier reflector and back surface field generated by dopedgraphene on n-ZnO nanoridges/p-silicon photodetectors and silicon solar cells. It is found that the p-type graphene not only acts as an electron blocking layer, but also helps the collection of photogenerated holes. Quite surprisingly, the on/off ratio of the photodetector with the insertion of dopedgraphene can be increased by up to 40 times. Moreover, we demonstrate that typical silicon solar cells with the dopedgraphene, the cell efficiency can be enhanced by about 20%. Our approach would expand numerous applications for graphene-based optoelectronic devices.Item FeS2 Nanocrystal Ink as a Catalytic Electrode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2013-06-24) Y.-C.

Chou; Chun-Wei ChenCalligraphic counter electrodes: An important photovoltaic application using FeS2 nanocrystal (NC) pyrite ink to fabricate a counter electrode as an alternative to Pt in dye-sensitized solar cells is demonstrated.

Chou; J.-J. Shyue; C.-H. Chien; Chia-Chun Chen; Y.-Y. Chen; P.-T. ChouWe report a rational method for preparation of ternary alloy (PtNiFe) nanocrystals with various shapes. PtNiFe nanocubes, polyhedrons, and octahedrons are prepared via fine-tuning the alloy compositions and surfactants, so that the crystal facet–surfactant bindings on the growth seed can be well controlled. Nanowires grow in the cylindrical template built via high concentrations of oleylamine. In the electrocatalysis examination, it appears that the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activities of all PtNiFe nanostructures outperform that of commercial Pt catalyst in the electrolyte of HClO4 or H2SO4. In HClO4, the order of ORR activity is as follows: octahedrons ≈ nanowires > polyhedrons > nanocubes. PtNiFe nanostructures enclosed by a (111) plane, such as octahedrons and nanowires, give the highest ORR activities. Conversely, in H2SO4, the ORR activity of PtNiFe nanocubes enclosed by {100} facets is the highest among these nanostructures. The ORR activity increases in the order of nanowires ≈ octahedrons < polyhedrons, establishing a shape dependency in the ORR activity, which is valuable upon performing nanocatalysis in fuel cells.Item Low operation voltage macromolecular composite memory assisted by graphene nanoflakes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-01-21) Y.-C. Lai; D.-Y. Wang; I-S. Huang; Y.-T. Chen; Y.-H. Hsu; T.-Y. Lin; H.-F. Meng; T.-C. Chang; Y.-J. Yang; Chia-Chun Chen; F.-C. Hsu; Y.-F. ChenThe trend towards simple and low-cost processing is one of the most important for macromolecular memory development. Here, bistable memory devices using a solution-processable active material, a mixture of graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) and insulating poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), are investigated, which serve as the first example for the direct integration of as-prepared nanoscale graphene into macromolecular memory devices through a one-step low-temperature processing method. Bistable electrical switching behavior and nonvolatile rewritable memory effects are realized by using an indium–tin-oxide/GNF–PVA/silver (ITO/GNF–PVA/Ag) sandwich structure. The resulting device exhibits low operation voltages of +1.4 V (turn-on) and −1.3 V (turn-off), which is promising for memory cells with low power consumptions. The programmable ON- and OFF-states possess a retention time of over 104 s and endure up to 107 read pulses. The carrier transport in the OFF- and ON-states follows the typical trap-limited space charge limited current and Ohmic laws, respectively. The asymmetric electrical switch behavior is therefore attributed to conducting filaments formed in the PVA layer assisted by the charged GNFs that induce the transition of the conductivity. Our study provides a potential approach for integrating as-prepared graphene into macromolecular memory devices with excellent performances through a simple solution-process.Item Low-Frequency Contact Noise of GaN Nanowire Device Detected by Cross-Spectrum Technique.(Japan Society of Applied Physics, 2011-06-01) L.-C. Li; K.-H. Huang; J.-A. Wei; Y.-W. Suen; T.-W. Liu; Chia-Chun Chen; L.-C. Chen; K.-H. ChenWe report the properties of low-frequency contact noise of multielectrode GaN nanowire (NW) devices. A two-port cross-spectrum technique is used to discriminate the noise of the ohmic contact from that of the NW section. The diameter of the GaN NW is around 100 nm. The Ti/Al electrodes of the NWs are defined by e-beam lithography. The typical resistance of a NW section with a length of 800 nm is about 5.5 kΩ and the two-wire resistance is below 100 kΩ. The results show that the low-frequency excess noise of the GaN NW is much smaller than that of the current-flowing contact, indicating that the contact noise dominates the noise behavior in our GaN NW devices. A careful study of the noise amplitude (A) of the 1/f noise of different types of NW and carbon nanotube devices, both in our work and in the literature, yields an empirical formula for estimating A from the two-wire resistance of the device.Item Vitalizing fuel cells with vitamins: pyrolyzed vitamin B12 as a non-precious catalyst for enhanced oxygen reduction reaction of polymer electrolyte fuel cells(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-01-01) S.-T. Chang; C.-H. Wang; H.-Y. Du; H.-C.Hsu; C.-M. Kang; Chia-Chun Chen; J.C.-S. Wu; S.-C. Yen; W.-F. Huang; L.-C. Chen; M.-C. Lin; K.-H. ChenThe limited natural abundance and high cost of Pt has been a major barrier in its applications for hydrogen or methanol fuel cells. In this work, based on the pyrolyzed corrin structure of vitamin B12 (py-B12/C), it is reported to produce superior catalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with an electron transfer number of 3.90, which is very close to the ideal case of 4. The H2–O2fuel cell using py-B12/C provides a maximum power density of 370 mW cm−2 and a current density of 0.720 A cm−2 at 0.5 V at 70 °C. Calculations based on density functional theory suggests that the corrin complex with a low-symmetric structure offers a much preferable path for the ORR, which is not applicable to the porphyrin with a high-symmetric structure. The long-term stability and high ORR activity of py-B12/C make it a viable candidate as a Pt-substitute in the ORR.Item Enhanced charge extraction in inverted hybrid photovoltaic cells assisted by graphene nanoflakes(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011-11-21) Y.-M. Sung; F.-C. Hsu; D.-Y. Wang; I.-S. Wang; Chia-Chun Chen; H.-C. Liao; W.-F. Su; Y.-F. ChenWe use graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) to greatly enhance the charge extraction out of a photoactive blend in inverted hybrid poly(3-hexylthiophene):(6,6)-phenyl C61butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM)/ZnO-nanorod photovoltaic cells. Instead of a continuous film, solution processed GNFs with dimensions less than 200 nm � 200 nm are homogeneously scattered on top of the well-aligned ZnO-nanorods. Those GNFs play key roles, they serve as an electron drain to collect electron flow out to ZnO-nanorods, enhance the carrier mobility of the device and promote holes to drift toward the surface in contact with the cathode. As a result, there is a large enhancement in photocurrent and photovoltage of 35% and 27%, respectively, leading to an improved cell efficiency by up to about 100%.Item Solution-Processable Pyrite FeS2 Nanocrystals for the Fabrication of Heterojunction Photodiodes with Visible to NIR Photodetection(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2012-07-03) D.-Y. Wang; Y.-T. Jiang; C.-C. Lin; S.-S. Li; Y.T. Wang; Chia-Chun Chen; C.-W. ChenA heterojunction photodiode with NIR photoresponse using solution processable pyrite FeS2 nanocrystal ink is demonstrated which has the advantages of earth-abundance and non-toxicity. The device consists of a FeS2 nanocrystal (NC) thin film sandwiched with semiconducting metal oxides with a structure of ITO/ZnO/FeS2 NC/MoO3/Au, which exhibits an excellent photoresponse with a spectral response extended to NIR wavelengths of up to 1150 nm and a high photocurrent/dark current ratio of up to 8000 at -1 V under AM1.5 illumination (100 mW cm−2).Item Type-II heterojunction organic/inorganic hybrid non-volatile memory based on FeS(2) nanocrystals embedded in poly(3-hexylthiophene)(IOP Publishing, 2011-07-27) C.-W. Lin; D.-Y. Wang; Y. Tai; Y.-T. Jiang; M.-C. Chen; Chia-Chun Chen; Y.-J. Yang; Y.-F. ChenElectrical bistable behaviour was demonstrated in memory devices based on n-type FeS2 nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a p-type poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) matrix. An organic/inorganic hybrid non-volatile memory device with a type-II band alignment, fabricated by a spin-coating process, exhibited electrical bistable characteristics. The bistable behaviour of carrier transport can be well described through the space-charge-limited current model. The small amount of FeS2 NCs in this device serve as an excellent charge trapping medium arising from the type-II band alignment between FeS2 and P3HT. Our study suggests a new way to integrate non-volatile memory with other devices such as transistor or photovoltaic since the presented FeS2/P3HT offers a type-II band alignment.
