Item Highly stable supercapacitive performance of one-dimensional (1D) brookite TiO2 nanoneedles(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016) Devan, R.S.; Ma, Y.-R.; Patil, R.A.; Lukas, S.-M.We report the highly stable supercapacitive performance of one-dimensional (1D) nanoneedles of brookite (?) TiO2 synthesized on a conducting glass substrate. The 1D ?-TiO2 nanoneedles synthesized over a large area array utilizing hot-filament metal vapor deposition (HFMVD) were ?24-26 nm wide, ?650 nm long and tapered in a downward direction. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) revealed their chemical properties and stoichiometric Ti and O composition. The 1D ?-TiO2 nanoneedles execute as parallel units for charge storage, yielding a specific capacitance of 34.1 mF g-1. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that the large surface area and brookite crystalline nature of the 1D nanoneedles provided easy access to Na+ ions, and resulted in low diffusion resistance, playing a key role in their stable charging-discharging electrochemical mechanism. Moreover, the non-faradic mechanism of these nanoneedles delivered better durability and high stability up to 10000 cycles, and a columbic efficiency of 98%. Therefore, 1D ?-TiO2 nanoneedles hold potential as an electrode material for highly stable supercapacitive performance with long cycle lifetime. ? 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Item Facile chemical bath deposition method for interconnected nanofibrous polythiophene thin films and their use for highly efficient room temperature NO2 sensor application(Elsevier B.V., 2017) Kamble, D.B.; Sharma, A.K.; Yadav, J.B.; Patil, V.B.; Devan, R.S.; Jatratkar, A.A.; Yewale, M.A.; Ganbavle, V.V.; Pawar, S.D.Interconnected nanofibrous polythiophene (INPTh) film was deposited on the glass substrate through a simple chemical bath deposition method. The influence of monomer concentration on INPTh film properties as well as on NO2sensing properties of the film was studied. The morphological and structural studies were carried out using FTIR spectroscopy, FE-SEM microscope, and AFM analysis. The FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of PTH structure. The interconnected nanofibrous surface morphology was observed in FE-SEM images. The roughness of the film and thickness (225?nm?442?nm) was found to increase with monomer concentration up to 0.5?M, after that, both decreased at 0.6?M monomer concentration. The highest selectivity of PTh thin film towards NO2was observed than the other gases like H2S, SO2, NH3, CO and LPG. The influence of film morphology and thickness on gas sensing properties was observed, which was varied with monomer concentration. The film deposited at 0.5?M monomer concentration showed the highest NO2gas response of 47.58% at room temperature. Present results revealed that monomer concentration was also one of the deposition parameters for tuning the morphological as well as gas sensing properties of the chemical bath deposited PTh film. ? 2017 Elsevier B.V.
